                      REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
                       remove talk.current-events

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated
newsgroup talk.current-events.


PROCEDURE:

The B8MB plans to begin voting on this proposal after five days.  Please
offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting
period.  Voting may take up to one week (7 days); a result will be
posted
following the end of the voting period.

All discussion of this proposal should be posted to
news.groups.proposals.

The full group removal procedure is documented here:

RATIONALE: remove talk.current-events

While the group was successful for a year or two, there has been little
to
no traffic in the last year, and there is no indication that this will
change in the future.  

The current moderators have agreed that it is not worth salvaging.  We
propose to remove the group.


HISTORY: 

talk.current-events was created in September 2006.
