In addition,<br /> it may be impossible to have a moderator who is considered neutral, and<br /> there may be copyright issues with regard to distribution of news articles<br /> published in other media.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup misc.news.southasia was created in March 1991 to post &quot;News<br /> Reports from the countries of South Asia- Bangladesh, India, Nepal,<br /> Pakistan and Sri-Lanka.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> The full (draft) group removal procedure is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should<br /> subscribe to news.groups and participate in the relevant threads in that<br /> newsgroup.<br /> <br /> To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.<br /> <br /> All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.<br /> <br /> If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion<br /> may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that<br /> all discussion appears in news.groups as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> misc.news.southasia<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> soc.culture.bangladesh<br /> soc.culture.indian<br /> soc.culture.nepal<br /> soc.culture.pakistan<br /> soc.culture.sri-lanka<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2006-09-01 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
