Reiteration of the Call For Votes:

> This is a formal Call For Votes (CFV) for the formation of a new Usenet
> newsgroup, comp.sys.stratus, as described below. The RFD for this
> group was originated by Bob Wise (rmwise_at_apdev.mci.com) and was posted

> news.groups in the ensuing 30-day period has been favourable, and no

> operating systems and applications executing over those
> operating systems.
