Please log in for more thread options -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD) This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the following changes in the uk.* Usenet hierarchy: create unmoderated newsgroup uk.telecom.voip Newsgroup line: uk.telecom.voip Voice over IP technology and related matters *** 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.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 technology, telephony and related matters in 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. 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 March 29th) 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. 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.telecom uk.telecom.mobile comp.dcom.voice-over-ip Proponent: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG-v1.2.4-(GNU/Linux) Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBQjtGCWOfGXkh8vHZAQGTqQP5ATr6qGlJyRwJ0fff8O/UWY+Ts5CtVCN9 PFxmIoH8h3ESCqSr1BS2l5jw5zOav+NYli9BzK7NAbryfGmvJBrPIzOFuXUzlms0 LHj4nMxB64FOsiUv1ymObW9xqqv0Ov6YS9K6bI9Nocs6icIkjzUuKyO4yzUQvPyA moKPGk6r9b0= =dpfF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- | ||||||||||
