FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT uk.rec.motorsport.misc (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.rec.motorsport.misc
This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before May 18th), 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.rec.motorsport.misc UK Motorsports, primarily from those involved
RATIONALE: uk.rec.motorsport.misc
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.rec.motorsport.misc from 2009-07-01 to
2010-04-30 has shown that there there were 6 posts in that period,

CHARTER:
uk.rec.motorsport.misc
This group is for the discussion of any aspect of motorsports in the UK,
or peculiar to the UK, on either two or four (or even three ?) wheels.
Primarily topics should be those applicable to involvement/participation
in UK Motorsports. Although discussion would be allowed on World
Championship issues (eg F1/WRC) these should really take place on a world
wide group eg rec.auto.sport.f1., unless it is the UK round in question.
(eg British Grand Prix)
Language
The language of the newsgroup will be English
Advertising
Some advertising postings will be allowed, provided they are related to
motorsports and not just general car/bike interest, kept to a minimum
length and subject to these additional qualifications:-
* Any announcement from a non-profit organisation is allowed
* Any announcement from a motor club, motoring organisation, RACMSA,
motorsports venues is allowed
* Announcements from commercial organisations (only those in the
motorsports industry), such as changes of premises, new service or
facility are allowed.
* Follow ups to postings requesting information, are allowed from any
organisation provided it is motorsport related.
* For sale/wanted adverts are restricted to competition cars or parts,
or people eg 'Mechanic needed for weekend of....'. Motor clubs are
kindly requested not to post 'Marshals needed...' type postings, but
to limit the posting to an announcement of the event (mentioning
marshal requirements), because marshals are *always* needed. The only
exception here is if there is a particularly urgent need for trained
or otherwise specialised marshals. eg radio, firefighting, first aid.
Anything not fitting these criteria and repeated unsolicited
'information' postings of essentially the same content are not allowed.
Binaries
Binaries are not allowed. Anybody wishing to post publically a binary
(for instance a photograph) should post it to a recognised newsgroup for
binaries and post a pointer to it within uk.rec.motorsport.misc
