FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT uk.media.tv.six-feet-under-remove
=======================
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.six-feet-under
This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before January 10th), 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 lines:
uk.media.tv.six-feet-under Discussion of "Six Feet Under" in the UK
RATIONALE
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 alaysis of the posts to uk.media.tv.six-feet-under from 2009-07-01
to 2009-11-28 has shown that there there were 2 posts in that period,
details of which are shown below.
Is this group being used?
