FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.org.mensa
=======================

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.org.mensa

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before December 4th), 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.org.mensa Forum for items of interest to UK members of Mensa


RATIONALE: uk.org.mensa

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.org.mensa from 2013-11-10 to 2014-11-10
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.org.mensa

uk.org.mensa is a forum for discussion of any items of interest to
members of Mensa in the UK or the Irish Republic, without barring non
members from reading and posting. It should be noted that no postings can
be regarded as "the official Mensa view": the newsgroup is entirely
informal. While no subject is explicitly out of bounds, it is intended
that most threads will relate to Mensa activities and similar subjects:
it is not the intention to recreate uk.misc with restricted readership!
The newsgroup also provides a way of arranging meetings without the lead
time needed by the Mensa Magazine.


Advertising

Only advertising of particular interest to Mensa members, e.g. special
discounts for members.


Binaries

None
