Please<br /> offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting<br /> period. Voting may take up to one week (7 days); a result will be posted<br /> following the end of the voting period.<br /> <br /> All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.proposals.<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 /> <br /> SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:<br /> <br /> No comments were received.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove news.software.anu-news<br /> <br /> The newsgroup news.software.anu-news has not had any on-topic messages<br /> since November 2005, at which point there was a two-article thread.<br /> <br /> The FAQ was last updated 24-Aug-1998 and last posted to the group<br /> 16-July-2004.<br /> <br /> Discussion of ANU news is appropriate in the comp.os.vms newsgroup and<br /> the two on-topic messages mentioned above were crossposted to that<br /> group, so it may be that the answer came from there rather than<br /> news.software.anu-news. 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Steve Bonine &lt;spb@pobox.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-03-09 1st RFD<br /> 2007-03-23 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
