FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.sport.football.clubs.rangers
=======================

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.sport.football.clubs.rangers

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before December 27th), 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.sport.football.clubs.rangers The Rangers Football Club, Glasgow


RATIONALE: uk.sport.football.clubs.rangers

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.sport.football.clubs.rangers from
2013-11-29 to 2014-11-29 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.sport.football.clubs.rangers

The group is for discussion of The Rangers Football Club who play home
games at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow. Players, results and any other matter
related to Rangers are relevant subjects for debate. Fans of other clubs
are welcome to post to this forum provided they respect the group and do
not post for the simple reason of getting a response. Advocacy of other
clubs and flames directed at Rangers from fans of other clubs are not
permitted.

Posts must be in plain text only. Non plain text posts (e.g. HTML and
Rich Text) are forbidden. Binaries (picture files, sounds etc, whether
related to football or not), with the exception of PGP signatures, are
also forbidden. ASCII art (Especially more than four lines) which is
irrelevant to the current debate is forbidden.


Advertising

Advertising is forbidden, with the following exceptions:

Suppliers of Rangers- relayed goods or services may post a pointer to
their website or invitation to request details. This may not exceed
ten lines and may be posted no more often than once a month. The
subject line should begin "ADVERT".
