                      REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

                      remove misc.business.credit



This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated

newsgroup misc.business.credit.





RATIONALE: remove misc.business.credit



The last approved message was in September 1999.  There had been

roughly 5 approved threads per month for the first three years of the

newsgroup (October 1995 to September 1996).  For the final year, there

was typically only 1 or 2 approvals per month.



Alternatives include:



(1) Assign a new moderator.



(2) Convert the newsgroup to unmoderated status.  I do not believe

that group with "business" in its name can function as an unmoderated

newsgroup (see misc.business.records-mgmt, the only unmoderated

misc.business.* Newsgroup).



(3) Remove the newsgroup.  Discussion of business credit may (continue

to) occur in groups such as misc.business.moderated or

misc.entrepreneurs.moderated.





HISTORY:



The newsgroup misc.business.credit was created in October 1995.

Approved threads were around 5 per month for the first 3 years of its

existence.  In the last year, there were typically 1 to 2 approvals

per month.  The last approval was in September 1999.





CHARTER:



The newsgroup line is:



misc.business.credit	Domestic and international business credit.



The charter (extracted from the CFV):



The proposed moderated newsgroup misc.business.credit will be opened

for discussion on all aspects of business credit.  Business credit

refers to but is not limited to:



A. Credit extended by a business to a business.



B. Money loaned by a bank, finance company or lending institution to

   a business.



C. Equipment leased by a leasing company to a business.



D. Domestic and international business credit

   transactions





PROCEDURE: 



The full group removal procedure is documented here:



  http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup



Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should

subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads 

in that newsgroup.



To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to 

news.groups.proposals.



All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals.



If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion

may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that

all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.

This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:



  news.announce.newgroups

  news.groups.proposals
