RL investigated the issue and found that the moderator, Tim Skirvin, had announced his retirement, apparently after trying but failing to find a replacement moderator. RL found that {{news|rec.arts.comics.info}} is in the same situation. Agreed that MM would draft at RFD to remove the group, following the examples [[Nan:2023-12-01-rfd-rec.radio.broadcasting]], and circulate it to the Board for comment and revision.<br /> ** {{news|comp.sys.wearables}}<br /> *** Still waiting for Greg Pfeil to confirm that he&#039;s now set up to send approved posts to this group. TM to ping Greg for an update.<br /> ** {{news|comp.protocols.dns.bind}}<br /> *** No response yet from moderator to MM&#039;s correspondence. MM to ping the moderator for an update, and in case of no/negative response to investigate how we could host the mailing list gateway ourselves.<br /> ** {{news|rec.radio.broadcasting}}<br /> *** No response yet from the volunteer moderator, who was last heard from in August. RL to write once more, asking the volunteer to set a deadline after which we can proceed with group removal.<br /> ** {{news|comp.os.plan9}}<br /> *** All were happy with the current draft of the MVI, so TM will post it.<br /> ** {{news|comp.lang.asm.x86}}<br /> *** The MVI has continued to attract discussion as recently as 2024-10-03. The volunteer, Terje Mathisen, last wrote to us on 2024-10-18 indicating that more time is needed. Agreed to defer consideration.<br /> ** {{news|misc.legal.moderated}}<br /> *** The Board received news from the moderator, Roy, via {{news|news.admin.moderation}} and {{news|news.groups.proposals}}, and various third-party e-mails, that moderated posts are not appearing on {{news|misc.legal.moderated}}. Jonathan Kamens identified the issue as a transient DNS issue and indicated that he is considering how to monitor the error condition so that he gets notified about it sooner in the event of a recurrence. No further action required from the Board as Jonathan has already responded on the group.<br /> * Infrastructure<br /> ** Status of cron jobs for offsite backups: No further progress by RL.<br /> ** Status of remote monitoring: No further progress by MM.<br /> ** Status of fail2ban: No further progress by MM.<br /> * Software/funding<br /> ** TM: No update yet on GPG signing best practices on Savannah<br /> ** Thunderbird 128 contact deferred given Julien&#039;s comments on INN.<br /> ** TM still to respond to Julien.<br /> ** OTF IFF/NGI0/[https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/ Sovereign Tech Fund]: no further updates<br /> * Misc<br /> ** Paul Schleck proposals: no further progress.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Meeting minutes for 2024]]</div>
