: Terje supplied RL with the configuration details for STUMP. RL applied these and is doing some final tests. Once everything is confirmed to be working, RL to make an announcement about the group. - rec.arts.anime.creative : TM posted the 2nd RFD on 2026-08-06. No discussion so far on the 2nd RFD.
- soc.sexuality.general : TM posted the RFD on 2026-08-13. This was cross-posted to most of the same groups as the creation RFD (10 in all) which was accepted by Panix but may be rejected by some peering servers. It was agreed to mitigate this by trimming the 2nd RFD to 5 cross-posts, posting pointers to the 2nd RFD to the trimmed groups, and extending the RFD process by an extra two weeks.

- Infrastructure
- TM to ask Panix whether they have any mitigation process in place for AI scraper botnets.
