FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.media.tv.west-wing
=======================

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.west-wing

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.west-wing The TV show The West Wing as screened in the UK


RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.west-wing

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.west-wing 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.west-wing

uk.media.tv.west-wing is for the discussion of the television show 'The
West Wing' and related matters. Discussion of episodes not yet screened
on analogue terrestrial television require a spoiler warning in the

not yet screened in the UK should take place on alt.tv.the-west-wing.


Advertising

Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
