Please log in for more thread options -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- FAST TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT uk.telecom.voip ======================= 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: create unmoderated newsgroup uk.telecom.voip This proposal will be activated no earlier than five days from the posting of this notice (i.e. not before April 11th), 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) ============================================================================ Changes from previous RFD: Added "or relevant to" to the phrase "in the UK". Newsgroup line: uk.telecom.voip Voice over IP technology and related matters Proponent's summary of discussion: The majority (12 or so at a rough count) of the comments appear to be in favour of the new group, with the remainder (3 or 4) arguing along the lines of "I don't see a need" rather than "I'd vote against". RATIONALE: uk.telecom.voip With the growth of voice-over-IP telephony and similar systems in the UK, much discussion has been taking place in the uk.telecom and comp.dcom.voice-over-ip groups. The former is intended primarily for generic telecoms discussion and the latter is a global group so it is felt that a new group specifically for discussion of VoIP in a UK context would be of benefit. CHARTER: uk.telecom.voip This group is for the discussion of topics relevant to: [1] Voice-over-IP telephony/technology and related matters in or relevant to the UK. [2] Networks for the above. [3] Equipment available for the above. Advertising is forbidden. Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden. Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where authentication is important and should be as short as possible. Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted messages are prohibited. To see how to make some common newsreaders comply with this, read <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.
Pointers to commercial or other web sites in signatures are permitted provided the message is on-topic. All signatures should be 4 lines or fewer and preceded by the customary usenet separator "-- " (dash, dash, space) on a line of its own.
