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 May 4th), 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: Abbreviations in the Charter paragraph [1] expanded to full names with the abbreviations for clarity. Newsgroup line: uk.telecom.voip Voice over IP technology and related matters Proponent's summary of discussion: Comments raised in objections to the previous fast track were incorporated, including adding technologies, using "service providers" instead of "networks", and making the discussion of hardware and software more generally related. The expansion of the abbreviations (incorporated as a minor change in this fast-track) was also suggested. There seemed to be no other negative comments raised. 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] Packet based voice and associated technologies including but not limited to Voice over IP (VoIP), Fax over IP (FoIP), Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR), Voice over Broadband (VoB) and Voice on the Net (VoN). [2] Service providers for the above. [3] Hardware and software available for use with packet based voice and associated technology. 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.
