FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.media.tv.time-team
=======================

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.time-team

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)

RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.time-team

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.time-team from 2013-10-12 to
2014-10-12 has shown that there there were 2 posts in that period,
details of which are shown below.

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.time-team

uk.media.tv.time-team will be a newsgroup for the discussion of anything
relating to the TV archaeology series Time Team, as broadcast in the UK.

Time Team is a series of hour long programmes, each one covering a 3-day
'dig' against the clock, examining the site being excavated and the
associated finds in a social and local context. The format is used to
explain some of the techniques of excavation and fieldwork, as well as
local historical research, in an entertaining and informative manner.

Broader discussion of archaeological and local history issues is
permissable, stemming from issues raised in the programme.

they are relevant to the UK.
