              MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)

              moderated group comp.emulators.announce



This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because

moderated newsgroup comp.emulators.announce is not functioning, and may have

been abandoned by its moderator(s).



This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function,

and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and instal-

lation of a new moderator.  In practice, the Big-8 Management Board

considers the third alternative--changing the status of the group from

moderated to unmoderated--as likely to cause more harm than good.



NEWSGROUPS LINE:



comp.emulators.announce	Emulator news, FAQs, announcements. (Moderated)



DISTRIBUTION:



news.announce.newgroups

news.groups.proposals

comp.emulators.announce



PROPONENT:



Alexander Bartolich <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at>



CHARTER OF COMP.EMULATORS.ANNOUNCE



  This is a moderated group with announcements about emulators, emulator

  ftp sites, new emulator images, and emulator FAQs.  Emulator

  discussion seems to have a fairly high noise level, so this will be

  useful for important news and coordinating FAQs for newbies.



RATIONALE:



Probe posts to this group resulted in bounces.
