The vote was five in favor,<br /> three against, and one explicit abstention.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 09 Nov 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft<br /> <br /> This newsgroup was created as part of a trial &quot;bulk creation&quot; newsgroup<br /> creation process, in which &quot;obvious&quot; newsgroups were created without<br /> specific proponents or charters. Subsequent to the group&#039;s creation, it<br /> was discovered that an active group, alt.games.warcraft, already exists<br /> for this topic. In order to prevent fragmention of the Usenet WOW<br /> community, I propose that the newly-created<br /> rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft be removed before it&#039;s widely<br /> propagated and established.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newgroup was issued on Monday, October 8, 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft<br /> alt.games.warcraft<br /> rec.games.computer.everquest<br /> comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Dave Sill &lt;de5@big-8.org&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-10-31 1st RFD<br /> 2007-11-02 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-11-06 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
