Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management Board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> rec.sport.cricket.info.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 15 May 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.sport.cricket.info<br /> <br /> The last approved message was in June 1999. In September 2002, there<br /> was discussion about reactivation of the group, but nothing came of<br /> it. Since the 1990&#039;s widespread access to the internet and WWW may<br /> have made the group obsolete.<br /> <br /> Alternatives include:<br /> <br /> (1) Assignment of a new moderator.<br /> <br /> (2) Removal of the newsgroup.<br /> <br /> (3) Since the group was intended as a quality cricket information<br /> service, with any follow on discussion happening in the unmoderated<br /> rec.sport.cricket, it would not make sense to convert<br /> rec.sport.cricket.info into an unmoderated group.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.sport.cricket.info was created in July 1994 a<br /> replacement for the group rec.sport.cricket.scores which had been<br /> created in January 1992. Approvals were moderately heavy with roughly<br /> 5 articles per day. There were outages from August 1997 to October<br /> 1997, and from November 1998 to December 1998. The last approval was<br /> in June 1999. In September 2002, there was discussion about possible<br /> reactivation of the group, but nothing came of it.<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.sport.cricket.info<br /> rec.sport.cricket<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-03-15 1st RFD<br /> 2007-03-17 1st RFD (corrected)<br /> 2007-05-03 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-05-11 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
