FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT uk.music.breakbeat-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.music.breakbeat

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.music.breakbeat Discussion and reviews of UK breakbeat music

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 analysis of the posts to uk.music.breakbeat 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?

CHARTER

The aim of this unmoderated newsgroup is to provide an area for the
discussion of all forms of breakbeat music (jungle, hip-hop, big beat
etc.) and topics such as record reviews, production techniques, and event
announcements, although by no means should the discussion only be limited
to these categories!

No advertising should be allowed, except for announcements of WWW sites
or email addresses to allow people to obtain further information.

No binaries of any kind will be allowed, however notes of
breakbeat-related WWW sites etc. are welcome, for items such as breakbeat
sound files, DJ playlists etc.

END CHARTER
