The initial message will then be posted and future messages will be posted automatically unless they violate the crosspost limitation. Successful posts will receive an e-mail confirmation of their propagation. Three permanent rejections of confirmation e-mails will require re-registration of a valid address with the modbot. Posters will have the option to use "spamblocks" of defined characteristics. As the moderators are opposed to any system of spamblocks that send rejected messages to innocent postmasters, users wishing to use spamblocked addresses on comp.org.cauce must use software that accepts messages of the type , where is the correct address and "-XXX" is a hash of the Subject: line of the post. The user can then filter on "-XXX," accepting only that mail for which the hash resolves. If the user does not implement the software necessary to resolve the hashes and read legitimate mail, the confirmation messages from the modbot will bounce and the poster will be automatically blocked from posting. This is necessary in order to keep posters from using the spamblock, not resolving addresses and inundating their postmaster with bounces of UCE and legitimate mail. There are ISPs that have in place software that can accomplish this blocking/filtering. See for further information. Software developers are encouraged to create packages to accomplish this filtering for platforms other than UNIX. Addresses that have been used to post advertisements will be blocked by the modbot at the discretion of the moderators. Persistently abusive posters may also have their access suspended or revoked. Should the moderators decide to add to or subtract from the moderator panel, a majority vote of the panel will be required. In the event of a tie vote, no change shall be made to the existing composition. The moderators, by unanimous consent only, may implement a system for automatic reposts of cancelled articles (often known as "Dave the Resurrector") should they deem it necessary.

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: READ THIS BEFORE VOTING Only one vote is allowed per person or per account. Duplicate votes will be resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will be listed in the final voting results post. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes. The use of spam blockers or other munged addresses will prevent you from receiving an acknowledgement of your vote. If the address cannot be verified, the ballot will be disallowed. Vote counting is automated, and failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem. It is your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly. The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from uninterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do not distribute this CFV. Instead, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud. When in doubt, ask the votetaker. HOW TO VOTE: Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and after the "END OF BALLOT" lines. Don't worry about the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts. Please do not send the entire CFV back to me. Fill in the ballot as shown below. Please provide a valid name and indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot. When finished, MAIL the ballot to: .

See "CFV CANCELLED: comp.org.cauce moderated", posted in the same newsgroups as this article, for more information. -- David Lawrence, moderator, news.announce.newgroups ] Instructions for voting are just before the ballot itself. Please read them before voting. If you have questions about the voting process, ask the votetaker. This CFV is to be distributed only by the votetaker. It is not to be posted to newsgroups, or mailed to mailing lists or individuals, except by the votetaker, and it is not to be placed on the World Wide Web. Ballots or CFVs provided by anyone except the votetaker will be invalid. Newsgroups line: comp.org.cauce The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail. (Moderated) Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 7 Nov 1997. This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent. Proponent: John C. Mozena Votetaker: David Bostwick RATIONALE: comp.org.cauce The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail (CAUCE) is the largest organization dedicated to the eradication of unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE, commonly known as "spam"). Its activities are currently discussed on news.admin.net-abuse.email, news.admin.net-abuse.policy, the SPAM-L mailing list and on a closed list internal to CAUCE. There is also a CAUCE e-newsletter. CAUCE has over 6000 members and many more people interested in its efforts to extend the U.S. "junk fax" law to cover e-mail. It is also involved in monitoring legislative and regulatory efforts to control UCE in Europe and other regions. Currently, there is no single forum in which CAUCE can make announcements, educate its members and discuss its activities and philosophy with interested parties. The extremely high traffic on news.admin.net-abuse.email and on SPAM-L makes it difficult for persons interested in discussing CAUCE's activities. CHARTER: comp.org.cauce Comp.org.cauce is dedicated to announcements from and discussion of the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail . Any and all posts directly related to CAUCE or anti-spam legislation in general are welcome. The newsgroup is robomoderated to eliminate crossposts and advertisements only. While persistently abusive posters (specifically, those who post in such a way as to intentionally degrade the ability of the group to function as a discussion forum) may be banned at the discretion of the moderators, opinions contrary to those of CAUCE are solicited and welcomed. No advertisements (with the exception of those contained in standard .signature files) are welcome. Posters are also asked to keep the discussion civil -- ad hominem attacks are not conducive to serious policy discussion. Reposts of UCE or spam, other than those used for demonstration purposes, are not necessary. Use news.admin.net-abuse.sightings or news.admin.net-abuse.email instead. ROBOMODERATION POLICY Comp.org.cauce is robomoderated. Messages crossposted to comp.org.cauce and more than one other group will be rejected and returned to the sender with an explanation of the newsgroup's moderation policy. Messages crossposted between comp.org.cauce and another moderated group will receive the same treatment. In addition to the crosspost policy, the initial post from each discrete address will result in an e-mail from the modbot to that address containing a unique token, which must be returned to an e-mail address specified in the message containing the token. The initial message will then be posted and future messages will be posted automatically unless they violate the crosspost limitation. Successful posts will receive an e-mail confirmation of their propagation. This feature may be turned off at the discretion of the moderators. Addresses that have been used to post advertisements will be blocked by the modbot at the discretion of the moderators. Persistently abusive posters may also have their access suspended or revoked. Should the moderators decide to add to or subtract from the moderator panel, a majority vote of the panel will be required. In the event of a tie vote, no change shall be made to the existing composition. The moderators, by unanimous consent only, may implement a system for automatic reposts of cancelled articles (often known as "Dave the Resurrector") should they deem it necessary. END CHARTER. MODERATOR INFO: comp.org.cauce Moderator: John Levine Moderator: John Mozena Moderator: Corey Snow Administrative contact address: comp-org-cauce-request@abuse.net Article submission address: comp-org-cauce@abuse.net END MODERATOR INFO. IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: READ THIS BEFORE VOTING Only one vote is allowed per person or per account. Duplicate votes will be resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will be listed in the final voting results post. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes. The use of spam blockers or other munged addresses will prevent you from receiving an acknowledgement of your vote. If the address cannot be verified, the ballot will be disallowed. Vote counting is automated, and failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem. It is your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly. The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from uninterested parties defeats this purpose.
