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.buffy-v-slayer

Newsgroup line:
uk.media.tv.buffy-v-slayer Buffy the Vampire Slayer


*** 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.buffy-v-slayer

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.buffy-v-slayer 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.buffy-v-slayer

This newsgroup is for the discussion of the television series Buffy the
Vampire Slayer but being UK based, discussion of episodes not yet
screened in the UK is discouraged but not banned provided the nature of
the posted content is indicated in the subject header.

Relevant advertising (i.e. advertisements not cross-posted to numerous
unrelated groups) is acceptable so long as these postings are kept short
(under 10 lines). The subject line should include "AD" or "ADVERT" to
indicate this content.

All posts must be in plain text with the exception of PGP signatures.
HTML and other types of formatted text are not permitted. No binaries are
permitted but references to relevant downloadable resources are
acceptable.

END CHARTER

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 27th) 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
and is available from http://www.usenet.org.uk/guidelines.html (the UK
Usenet website). Please refer to this document if you have any questions
about the process.
