                      REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
                   remove misc.news.east-europe.rferl

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the 
newsgroup misc.news.east-europe.rferl.


RATIONALE: remove misc.news.east-europe.rferl

The last approved message was in December 1994.

The Newsline is still available via the WWW or by e-mail at
http://www.rferl.org/newsline/ so the newsgroup is an unused redundancy.


HISTORY: 

The newsgroup misc.news.east-europe.rferl was created in November 1992 to
distribute the RFE/RL Daily Report which was also distributed via a listserv at
that time, and also being reposted into a number of other newsgroups.


PROCEDURE: 

The full (draft) group removal procedure is documented here:

  http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup

Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should
subscribe to news.groups and participate in the relevant threads in that
newsgroup.

To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.

All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.

If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion
may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that
all discussion appears in news.groups as well.



DISTRIBUTION:

This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:

  news.announce.newgroups
  news.groups
