Hi,
 I was proposing to start a gateway between t-assist and
 soc.college.teaching-asst. There has been no concerns from bit.admin,
 and soc.college.teaching-asst. However in t-assist the opinion seems
 to be divided with 3 people suggesting they want a gateway and 7
 suggesting they would abstain from this move. The guidelines state
 that I should now conduct a vote similar to the creation of a new
 newsgroup.

 Does that mean I have to go through a month of CFV's and all that?
 Would I need 2/3 and 100 vote difference? Who can take part in this
 vote?  Only members of t-assist? Do I have to verify if the voters are
 t-assist'ers?

 When I last checked, t-assist had only 250 members and so I do not
 think that I can get a YES vote in the traditional USENET sense.

 Is the normal recourse in such a situation to drop this idea??  How
 would I go about doing that??

 Thanks for your help,
