FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.media.tv.simpsons
=======================

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.tv.simpsons

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before November 6th), 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.tv.simpsons UK based discussion of US TV series The Simpsons


RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.simpsons

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.simpsons 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.simpsons

The newsgroup will discuss episodes, characters and all information
regarding episodes of The Simpsons shown on satellite, cable and
terrestrial television in the UK, as well as products related to The
Simpsons that are available in the UK. Some information and discussion
regarding future episodes will be allowed but spoiler warnings will be
required in the subject line.

Because episodes can be (and usually are) shown out of order there will
be no requirement to post spoiler warnings for episodes seen on UK
cable/satellite but not shown on terrestrial television. However, posters
are encouraged to include spoiler warnings when including details of the
content of episodes that are known to be scheduled for their first
showing on terrestrial channels (within the space of one month).

Short announcments of events relating to readers as well as short
on-topic commercial advertising is permitted; blatant off-topic
advertising is not.

Binaries are not permitted on this group, however references to FTP-able
material and Web URL's are welcomed.

END CHARTER
