REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the following changes
in the uk.* Usenet hierarchy:

delete newsgroup uk.media.tv.angel

Newsgroup line:
uk.media.tv.angel Fans of the TV show Angel


*** ALL DISCUSSION MUST TAKE PLACE IN UK.NET.NEWS.CONFIG ***

This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Further procedural details are given below.

RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.angel

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.tv.angel from 2013-10-14 to
2014-10-14 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.tv.angel

uk.media.tv.angel is for the discussion of the television show 'Angel'
and related matters, including merchandise, conventions, and the cast's
other work. Discussion of Angel episodes not yet screened on
non-subscription television is permitted but posting of spoiler material
without an appropriate warning in the subject header is not permitted.


Advertising

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:

Suppliers of goods and services relevant to 'Angel' in the UK may
post, not more than once every month, an invitation of four lines or
fewer, to visit their web site or request details. The subject line
must begin "ADVERT: "


Binaries & Formatting

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.), are

PROCEDURE:

This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase of
the process, any potential problems with the proposal should be raised
and resolved. The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 10
days, starting from when this RFD is posted to uk.net.news.announce
(i.e. until October 26th) after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be
posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it.
Alternatively, the proposal may proceed by the fast-track method. Please
do not attempt to vote until this happens.

This RFD attempts to comply fully with the "Guidelines for Group Creation
within the UK Hierarchy" as published regularly in uk.net.news.announce
