RFD for uk.rec.sheds

[Dave Budd]

RFD for unmoderated group uk.rec.sheds

Name:
uk.rec.sheds

Summary:
uk.rec.sheds is a newsgroup dedicated to the appreciation of sheds
and the furtherance of shedding among the general population.

Rationale:
The shed, with its contents and use, is a major archetype within
the male psyche; the exigencies of modern life are, however,
gradually eroding the typical male's knowledge of the joys of
shedding. Heretofore there has been no suitable forum on Usenet
where shedders can gather to pursue the furtherance of shedding.
This newsgroup provides such a place, and will hopefully attract
many of the unshedded into the hobby. A prototype FAQ already
exists (many thanks to Jeff Drabble) and this has been posted on
soc.culture.british

Charter:
The group is for discussions relating to sheds, their use, their
contents, and the culture of shedding.

Moderation:
No moderation

Advertising:
Advertising of sheds only.

Binaries:
No binaries

Proponent:
Dave Budd (D.B...@mcc.ac.uk)

Procedure:
This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes.
In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the
proposed newsgroup should be raised and resolved. The discussion
period will last at least 10 working days, counted from the posting
of this RFD to uk.net.news.announce. This RFD will also be posted
to: soc.culture.british, uk.misc, uk.net.news.config. Please alert
people who may be interested but do not frequent the listed groups.

**** All discussion should be posted to uk.net.news.config. ****

At the end of the discussion period, one of the following will occur:
1. If there are *no* objections to the proposal, the groups will
be created by means of a FAST TRACK
2. A call for votes will be posted by a neutral vote-taker
3. The proposal will be abandoned by the proponent
