2nd FAST-TRACK of remove uk.org.women-in-comp
Charles Lindsey as Deputy Control
FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.org.women-in-comp
=======================
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:
Remove unmoderated newsgroup uk.org.women-in-comp
This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before September 14th), 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)
============================================================================
Administrative note:
It has been pointed out that the Rationale accompanying the first
fast-track contained a reference to uk.org.ukuug which should in fact have
been to uk.org.women-in-comp (this was in fact pointed out during the
discussion phase, and was admittee to have been a straightforward typo).
This 2nd fast-track is being published to correct the error. A further 5
days are allowed for objections.

shows 20 posts in the period of which 2 might be on topic.
I posted a note in the group on 5th August 2003 asking if the group
was being used and asking if anyone had a contact for the
organisation. I have received no response. I have not contacted the
organisation as I can't find them. A Google search found
http://www.awc-hq.org/ but they appear to be US based. If someone
manages to identify a contact then I will follow that through before
taking the RFD any further.
