<p>created</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: Steve Bonine &lt;spb@pobox.com&gt;<br /> Subject: Moderator Vacancy Investigation: comp.unix.sco.announce<br /> Message-ID: &lt;962aobFpa3U5@mid.individual.net&gt;<br /> <br /> MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)<br /> moderated group comp.unix.sco.announce<br /> <br /> This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because <br /> moderated newsgroup comp.unix.sco.announce is not functioning, and may <br /> have been abandoned by its moderator(s).<br /> <br /> This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function, <br /> and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and <br /> installation of a new moderator. 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 /> comp.unix.sco.announce SCO and related product announcements. (Moderated)<br /> <br /> RATIONALE: Probe posts to this group resulted in no response.<br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.unix.sco.announce<br /> comp.unix.misc<br /> <br /> CHARTER<br /> <br /> Product, service, and business announcements of reasonable interest to <br /> the SCO community of developers, distributors, resellers, consultants, <br /> administrators and end-users, submitted by:<br /> - SCO,<br /> - third party software and hardware developers, SCO-specific<br /> service providers, and authors of freely available software.<br /> <br /> This explicitly includes SCO supplement information (SLS, TLS, EFS, etc.)<br /> <br /> Blatant and/or irrelevant commercial &quot;ads&quot; will continue to be rejected.<br /> <br /> HISTORY OF THE GROUP: The newsgroup was created 14 April 1995 by a vote <br /> of 256:29 as part of a reorganization that converted the biz.sco.* <br /> hierarchy to comp.unix.sco.*. It was active between May 1995 and late 2004.<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 /> 17 June 2011: Moderator Vacancy Investigation<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
