FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT REMOVAL of uk.tech.y2k
=======================
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 group uk.tech.y2k
This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the
posting of this notice (i.e. not before September 17th), 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)
============================================================================
Proponent's summary of discussion:
SUMMARY: uk.tech.y2k
Ten days elapsed on Monday 3rd; over a dozen supporters in News, no
objections seen.
END SUMMARY
uk.tech.y2k was created in May 1998 for "UK-centric discussion of all
aspects and possible solutions of the Year 2000 problem, especially in
relation to Computers and all electronic/electrical equipment utilizing
date related ic's.".
With the passage of time, there now remains little to discuss, and the
group receives little or no non-spam traffic. Such on-topic messages
as do appear can be comfortably handled by uk.tech.misc.
Remove newsgroup uk.tech.y2k
