Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 13 February 1995.

This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party.  For voting

proposed group contact A.Stam <astam at fwi.uva.nl>.


CHARTER

This newsgroup will be established as a forum for sharing ideas and 
information about the culture, history, social and political 
devolepments in Kurdistan or related to Kurdistan.  This newsgroup 
will provide open discussions on the issue of Kurdish Question, that 
is shared by different countries where Kurds currently live. This news 
group will also be accessable for other people from Kurdistan and 
others who believe that they have any kind of relationship with 
Kurdistan.  The discussions will be in English or in different 
dialects of Kurdish (languages within Kurdish family).

RATIONALE

Periodically, interest in a group to discuss the Kurdish issue
has been expressed. Questions concerning Kurdish problem have been 
posted in various newsgroups. It is widely felt that due to its context 
(the Kurdish problem) the other groups like soc.culture.turkish are 
inadequate for this purpose, not only because of different languages 
but also for the reason that just only one part of Kurdistan shares 
some common background with Turkey.

So it is felt that a seperate newsgroup is suitable.

This Newsgroup will virtually connect the vast scattered people from 
Kurdistan and hopefully it might contribute to bring the seperated 
dialects of Kurdish to a single national language.
