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 /> soc.culture.indian.info Info group for soc.culture.indian, etc. (Moderated)<br /> <br /> RATIONALE:<br /> <br /> Probe posts to this group resulted in no response. The last meaningful <br /> traffic was in August 2001.<br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> soc.culture.indian.info<br /> soc.culture.indian<br /> <br /> CHARTER<br /> <br /> * Articles considered to be relevant to this group <br /> (soc.culture.indian.info) include informational postings from:<br /> alt.culture.karnataka<br /> soc.culture.indian.telugu<br /> alt.culture.kerala<br /> soc.culture.tamil<br /> alt.culture.us.asian-indian<br /> soc.culture.indian<br /> <br /> * All postings will be crossposted which means that essentially, they <br /> have to be pertinent to some group under the hierarchy.<br /> <br /> * No discussions are allowed. But all summaries resulting from a <br /> discussion (like travel tips etc.) are allowed.<br /> <br /> * All postings will be clearly categorised on the subject line.<br /> <br /> * Reasoning for this group similar to rec.radio.info and rec.music.info.<br /> <br /> HISTORY OF THE GROUP: The newsgroup passed its vote on 13 December <br /> 1993. It saw light activity from December 1993 until mid-1999.<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>
