This CFV contains a "bounce acknowledgement" for votes which were received
and counted but the reply to the voter was returned as undeliverable.  If your
name appears on the list, you do not need to re-vote.  If you voted before
05:00 January 30 GMT and have neither received a reply by e-mail nor found
your name in the bounce ack, you may assume your vote did not reach the vote-
counting machine and should try again.  For votes after the bounce ack was
created, please check with the vote-taker.  If you have any further problems,
ask your site's postmaster.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly.

HOW TO VOTE

Erase everything above the top "-=-=-=-" line and erase everything
below the bottom "-=-=-=-" line.  Do not erase anything between these
lines and do not change the group names.  Basically, remove everything
except the ballot - we have to save them all on disk.

Give your name on the line that asks for it. For each group, place a YES or
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.

Quick voting checklist:
1) Fill in the ballot form shown below.
2) Delete the rest of the CFV from your reply.
3) Make sure your reply goes to bsd-reorg-vote@amdahl.com
