In practice, the Big-8 Management <br /> Board considers the third alternative -- changing the status of the <br /> group from moderated to unmoderated -- as likely to cause more harm than <br /> good.<br /> <br /> NEWSGROUPS LINE:<br /> <br /> sci.virtual-worlds Virtual Reality - technology and culture. (Moderated)<br /> <br /> RATIONALE:<br /> <br /> Probe posts to this group resulted in bounces. The last meaningful <br /> traffic in the newsgroup is from 2001.<br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> sci.virtual-worlds<br /> sci.misc<br /> <br /> CHARTER: No charter is available at ftp.isc.org.<br /> <br /> HISTORY OF THE GROUP: The newsgroup was active from September 1990 <br /> until July 2001. The last meaningful traffic was in late 2001.<br /> <br /> PROPONENT: Steve Bonine &lt;spb@pobox.com&gt;<br /> <br /> PROCEDURE:<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this moderator vacancy investigation should <br /> subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant <br /> threads in that newsgroup. To this end, the followup header of this MVI <br /> has been set to news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> For more information on the MVI process, please see<br /> http://www.big-8.org/wiki/Moderator_Vacancy_Investigations<br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 29 May 2011: Moderator Vacancy Investigation<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
