FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.community.voluntary
=======================

In the procedures established for maintaining the uk.* hierarchy
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/guidelines.html> there are provisions, where
there is a consensus and the proposal is straightforward and
non-controversial, to proceed by the "fast-track" method, so as to avoid
the necessity for holding a full vote.

I have now received a request to fast-track the following proposal:

delete newsgroup uk.community.voluntary

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before August 17th), unless there are
objections (of which six or more, or any one which seems to the Committee
to be well founded, shall suffice to halt the process).

Objections should be emailed directly to Control at
<con...@usenet.org.uk>.

Objections will be resolved by the committee (comm...@usenet.org.uk)

============================================================================

Newsgroup line:
uk.community.voluntary UK-based voluntary organisations and charities


RATIONALE: uk.community.voluntary

Examining the posts available via two well known news servers, it
is apparent that the newsgroup is dead. The posts made during 2012
and 2013 so far can be broken down as follows:

5 spam
1 cross-posted flame

I don't think that these figures need further elaboration; the group
is dead.


CHARTER:
uk.community.voluntary

The aim of the group is to provide a forum for the discussion of the
activities of UK based charities and voluntary organisations.

The naming of the group, uk.community.voluntary, allows a logical structure
to develop if the group becomes popular and the amount of messages becomes
too large for a single group. Future groups could include
uk.community.voluntary.internet, uk.community.voluntary.finance,
uk.community.voluntary.training, uk.community.voluntary.fundraising etc.

Advertisements should be limited to occasional invitations to request
further information via email, or re-direction to a WWW site.

Binaries are not acceptable on this group, however references to FTP-able
material and Web URL's are welcomed.

END CHARTER
