FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT remove uk.sport.football.scottish
=======================

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.scottish

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.scottish Association Football in Scotland


RATIONALE: uk.sport.football.scottish

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.scottish 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.scottish

The group will be for the discussion of association football in and
related to Scotland, at all levels. This includes international football
and Scottish clubs in European competition. Other events abroad in
football which have some bearing on the Scottish game and its fans can be
discussed (e.g. The Bosman ruling, Scottish players abroad, foreign
transfer targets, European superleagues etc.) as well as major events
such as the World Cup or the European Championships.


Advertising

Advertising is forbidden.


Crossposting

Crossposting to newsgroups in the uk.sport.football.clubs.* hierarchy is
prohibited.


Binaries & Formatting

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where
authentication is important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plaintext. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted
messages are prohibited. To see how to make your newsreader comply with
this, read <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.


Warning

Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their
"postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
