FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.media.tv.twenty-four
=======================

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.twenty-four

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.twenty-four For discussion of "24" relevant to the UK


RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.twenty-four

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.twenty-four 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.twenty-four

uk.media.tv.twenty-four is for the discussion of the television show '24'
and related matters. Discussion of episodes not yet screened on analogue
terrestrial television require a spoiler warning in the subject line and
a 30-line "spoiler space" before the content of the post. The subject
line should begin "SPOILER: "


Advertising

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:

Suppliers of goods and services relevant to "24" in the UK may post
an invitation to visit their web site or request details. It should
be of four lines or fewer, and not posted more than once every 3
months. The subject line should begin "ADVERT: ".


Binaries & Formatting

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where
authentication is important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted
messages are prohibited. To see how to make some common newsreaders
comply with this, read <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.
