HOW TO VOTE

NO in the brackets next to it to vote for or against it. If you don't want
to vote on a particular group, just leave the space blank. Don't worry
about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply
inserts.
Then mail the ballot to: bsd-reorg-vote@amdahl.com
Just Replying to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.
