Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> rec.hunting.dogs.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 07 Apr 2008.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.hunting.dogs<br /> <br /> This is a dead group. There has been no viable activity on this group<br /> for nearly a year (maybe longer). Even before that, the activity level<br /> of this group was extremely low (no more than 1 or 2 posts per month).<br /> Note that this is despite the fact that the moderator (myself, the<br /> proponent of the removal RFD) dutifully checks for new posts on a<br /> regular basis (at least one per week).<br /> <br /> It is important to note that it is the moderator of the group who is<br /> initiating the proposal.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The group was originally a spin off from rec.hunting back in the<br /> mid-1990&#039;s. Because of the number and nature of dog-related posts, it<br /> was felt a separate discussion group under the hierarchy of rec.hunting<br /> should be created. After an appropriate RFD &amp; CFV process which showed<br /> very little opposition to the proposal, the group was created. The<br /> moderator was designated to be myself (Chris Barnes); to date, this is<br /> the only moderator the group has ever had.<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.hunting.dogs (moderated)<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Chris Barnes &lt;chris@txbarnes.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2008-01-17 1st RFD<br /> 2008-03-12 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2008-03-30 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
