                                 RESULT

                rec.arts.disney.announce will be removed



The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 26 Feb 2007 initiated a five-day

period for final comments.  Following the comment period, the Big-8

Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup

rec.arts.disney.announce.



This group will be removed on 12 Mar 2007.





RATIONALE: remove rec.arts.disney.announce



The newsgroup rec.arts.disney.announce has not had any approved

messages, other than auto-posted FAQ's, since September 1998.  During

the last few months of its existence, approvals (excluding FAQ's) had

declined from 34 in the first quarter of 1998, to 13 in the 2nd

quarter; to 3 in the 3rd quarter.



Near the end of its active period, there were a couple on inquiries

about the whereabouts of the moderators.  However, most mentions of

the announce group were in reference to the topic guidelines contained

in the autoposted FAQ's.



As an announcement group, it would not be appropriate to convert the

group to an unmoderated status.





HISTORY: 



The newsgroup rec.arts.disney.announce was created in July 1995 as

part of the re-organization of the rec.arts.disney.* (RAD)

sub-hierarchy.  In addition to RAD.announce, RAD.animation,

RAD.merchandise, and RAD.parks were created.  In addtion,

rec.arts.disney was renamed to RAD.misc.



Approvals in RAD.announce were roughly 5 per week until the last few

months.  The last approval was in September 1998.  Auto-posted FAQ's

continued to be approved until 1999.
