FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.media.books.sf
=======================

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.media.books.sf

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.media.books.sf Science Fiction literature relevant to the UK


RATIONALE: uk.media.books.sf

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.media.books.sf 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.media.books.sf

The purpose of the group is to allow the discussion of science fiction
literature as relevant to the UK, taking into account differing national
tastes and publication dates. The topic of discussion is fairly broad,
covering all aspects of written sf and its authors.


Advertising

Adverts and short stories are not welcome.
