FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.local.cheshire
=======================

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.local.cheshire

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before December 4th), 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.local.cheshire Items of interest regarding Cheshire


RATIONALE: uk.local.cheshire

It has long been custom within uk.* to check for groups that are not
being used and then to remove them. By doing this we keep the number of
dead groups down increasing the chances that someone stumbling across a
group will find it useful.

An analysis of the posts to uk.local.cheshire from 2013-11-10 to
2014-11-10 has shown that there were no posts in this period.

It is not the intention to remove any groups that are, or people
believe will be, useful going forward. If you are a user of the group
and feel it should remain then please reply to this and join the debate
on uk.net.news.config so I know not to press ahead with this.


CHARTER:
uk.local.cheshire

uk.local.cheshire is for discussion of items of interest regarding
Cheshire. Subject matters can be broad and wide ranging but should be
specific to Cheshire and its residents.

Relevant advertising is permitted, providing that such advertisements are
short (i.e. under 10 lines) and not reposted more frequently than once
every three months.

Messages posted to groups in this hierarchy must not be cross-posted to
more than a TOTAL of four uk.local.* newsgroups; these may be
geographically adjacent or overlapping, or connected by the subject of
the post (e.g. "moving house from Manchester to Birmingham").

Note that the advertising of widely-available goods or services is *not*
relevant in this context, and that most uk.local.* groups have
restrictions on advertising, or prohibit it. Cross-posted adverts, where
allowed, must meet the requirements of the charters of *all* groups
involved.

All posts must be in plain text. Attachments, HTML and other types of
formatted text are not permitted, however short (under four-line)
references to relevant FTP-able material and web URLs are welcome.
