                     REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

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

           remove unmoderated newsgroup uk.media.tv.sf.startrek

Newsgroup line:
uk.media.tv.sf.startrek	For discussion of Star Trek relevant to the UK


      *** ALL DISCUSSION MUST TAKE PLACE IN UK.NET.NEWS.CONFIG ***
             *** CROSSPOSTED TO UK.MEDIA.TV.SF.STARTREK ***

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

RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.sf.startrek

Traffic to this group has dropped to a level very close to zero, with
the only regular posts being the FAQ and comments relating to a web-
based competition.

A recent small thread on this newsgroup discussing the nature of the
group threw up only a few posts, none against the idea of the group 
being disbanded.

PROPOSAL

That the newsgroup uk.media.tv.sf.startrek be rmgrouped.

CURRENT CHARTER: uk.media.tv.sf.startrek

>There is no charter for this group available on the uk usenet web
>site, and the weekly-posted FAQ is in effect the charter.

END CHARTER

PROCEDURE:

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 July 20th) 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.

DISTRIBUTION:

This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:
        uk.net.news.announce
        uk.net.news.config
        uk.media.tv.sf.startrek
