ANU News is mentioned in an October 2006 thread<br /> in comp.os.vms that is not crossposted to news.software.anu-news.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> News.software.anu-news was created in July, 1989<br /> &lt;4171@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu&gt; to discuss a news server package from<br /> Australian University. It was active until the late 1990s, at which<br /> point year-2000 issues were discovered in the software. A year-2000<br /> compliant version was made available in February 2000 but by then almost<br /> all use of the software had ceased.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> Newsgroup line:<br /> news.software.anu-news VMS Usenet software from Australian National Univ.<br /> <br /> No formal charter is available.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> The full 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.proposals and participate in the relevant threads <br /> in that newsgroup.<br /> <br /> To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to <br /> news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals.<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.proposals as well.<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 /> news.software.anu-news<br /> comp.os.vms<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Steve Bonine &lt;spb@pobox.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-03-09 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
