Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> rec.aviation.questions.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 21 Mar 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.aviation.questions<br /> <br /> The last approved message was in June 1994. The group was created in<br /> April 1994, and had less than 30 articles posted in its 3-month period<br /> of activity. It has been inactive the past 13 years.<br /> <br /> Over the next few years, there were occasional comments by a poster<br /> that they had attempted to post to rec.aviation.questions, but their<br /> question had not appeared.<br /> <br /> The original moderation scheme called for persons to submit their<br /> question to rec.aviation.questions. After a question was received, it<br /> would be directed to an &quot;answer-maven&quot;, who would prepare an answer to<br /> the question, possibly after additional research.<br /> <br /> The answer-maven would cross-post his answer to rec.aviation.questions<br /> and other relevant rec.aviation.* groups, with the original question<br /> quoted within the body of the answer message. Follow-on discussion<br /> could then occur in the unmoderated groups.<br /> <br /> If a new moderator were assigned, the moderation scheme might be<br /> modified such that legitimate questions would be be posted directly to<br /> rec.aviation.questions with any persons interested in answering<br /> responding directly in the group. Moderation could concentrate on<br /> keeping any ensuing discussion focused on the original questions.<br /> <br /> While the group could plausibly be converted to an unmoderated status,<br /> it might simply serve as an additional group in a cross-post.<br /> <br /> Note: There are also proposals to remove rec.aviation.answers and<br /> rec.aviation.announce. Each proposal will be considered<br /> independently.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.aviation.questions was created in April 1994, and<br /> had 11 approved articles in April, 12 articles in May, and 5 articles<br /> in June. It has been idle for the past 13 years.<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 /> rec.aviation.questions<br /> rec.aviation.announce<br /> rec.aviation.misc<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> rec.aviation.ifr<br /> rec.aviation.owning<br /> rec.aviation.piloting<br /> rec.aviation.student<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-02-26 1st RFD<br /> 2007-03-09 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-03-17 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
