FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT	    uk.current-events.bird-flu-remove
=======================

In the procedures established for maintaining the uk.* hierarchy
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/guidelines.html> there are provisions, where
there is a consensus and the proposal is straightforward and
non-controversial, to proceed by the "fast-track" method, so as to avoid
the necessity for holding a full vote.

I have now received a request to fast-track the following proposal:

         Remove unmoderated newsgroup uk.current-events.bird-flu

This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting
of this notice (i.e. not before February 10th), unless there are
objections (of which six or more, or any one which seems to the Committee
to be well founded, shall suffice to halt the process).

Objections should be emailed directly to Control at
.

Objections will be resolved by the committee (committee@usenet.org.uk)

============================================================================
