FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT uk.jobs.d-remove
=======================
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:
remove unmoderated newsgroup uk.jobs.d
This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before June 15th), 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)
============================================================================
Changes from previous RFD:
None.
Newsgroup line:
uk.jobs.d Discussion of jobs related issues
Proponent's summary of discussion:
Nothing much to say. The few people that commented agreed the group
should be removed. One person wondered if a .discussion group should be
created and I said I wouldn't be doing that. I think asking in the
group concerned first helped agreement that the group should be removed.
RATIONALE: remove uk.jobs.d
The newsgroup appears to be little used for the intended purpose (I can
find one on-topic thread in recent months) and seems to attract off
topic posts. I raised the suggestion of the group being removed early
in May and useful discussion followed. It was hoped by people that had
followed the ng that useful discussion may have started in the group as
a result of my initiating the discussion and following postings but this
doesn't appear to have happened. I think the group should now be
removed. As was noted in the discussion this appears to be the only .d
group in the uk.* hierarchy and that may explain why it has not been
well used (i.e. it was not well understood what the .d part of the name
meant).
END RATIONALE
PROPOSAL: remove uk.jobs.d
That the newsgroup uk.jobs.d be rmgrouped.
END PROPOSAL
CHARTER: uk.jobs.d
The group has no formal charter.
END CHARTER
