REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the following changes
in the uk.* Usenet hierarchy:

delete newsgroup uk.rec.fishing.sea

Newsgroup line:
uk.rec.fishing.sea For the discussion of sea angling


*** ALL DISCUSSION MUST TAKE PLACE IN UK.NET.NEWS.CONFIG ***

This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Further procedural details are given below.

RATIONALE: uk.rec.fishing.sea

Examining the posts available via two well known news servers, it
is apparent that the newsgroup is dead. There have been 14
posts during 2012 and 2013. None appear to be of interest or note;
they are a mix of off-topic spam, on topic advertising, and one
rather odd post that seems to assume that the sea has been designed.

This group is rotting and it should be deleted.


CHARTER:
uk.rec.fishing.sea

The groups uk.rec.fishing.coarse and uk.rec.fishing.sea are for the
discussion of all aspects of UK angling.

Items should be posted to the relevant group only.

uk.rec.fishing.sea is for the discussion of sea angling. This covers sport
fishing for all sal****er species within British waters.

Advertising

Personal advertisements for tackle etc. are welcome, but should be brief.
Short (less than 20 line) announcements of events relevant to fishing are
permitted; blatant off-topic or commercial advertising is not.

Binaries

Binaries are not permitted on this group, however references to FTPable
material and Web URL's are welcomed.

END CHARTER

PROCEDU

This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase of
the process, any potential problems with the proposal should be raised
and resolved. The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 10
days, starting from when this RFD is posted to uk.net.news.announce
(i.e. until June 27th) after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be
posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it.
Alternatively, the proposal may proceed by the fast-track method. Please
do not attempt to vote until this happens.

This RFD attempts to comply fully with the "Guidelines for Group Creation
within the UK Hierarchy" as published regularly in uk.net.news.announce
and is available from http://www.usenet.org.uk/guidelines.html (the UK
Usenet website). Please refer to this document if you have any questions
about the process.
