Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> comp.org.team-os2.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 20 Feb 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove comp.org.team-os2<br /> <br /> The newsgroup comp.org.team-os2 has not had any approved messages<br /> since May 1998. In February 1998, the moderator posted that all<br /> recent submissions were either spam or technical questions about OS/2<br /> rather than advocacy of OS/2, and that she was seeking a replacement<br /> moderator. In May 1998, along with the final approvals, the moderator<br /> indicated that she had not found a replacement.<br /> <br /> It is not clear that Team OS/2 still exists as a formal (or informal)<br /> organization. The web page at http://www.teamos2.org/ is rudimentary.<br /> <br /> The unmoderated newsgroup comp.os.os2.advocacy can be used for<br /> advocacy posting about OS/2. The rest of the comp.os.os2.* hierarchy<br /> may be used for discussion of technical issues about OS/2.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroups comp.org.team-os2 was created in August 1996 and was<br /> fairly busy for about a year and a half. The lass approval was in May<br /> 1998.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.org.team-os2<br /> comp.os.os2.advocacy<br /> comp.os.os2.announce<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-01-25 1st RFD<br /> 2007-02-07 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-02-15 Results<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
