> RESULT
> rec.hunting.dogs will be removed
> The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 12 Mar 2008 initiated a five-day
> period for final comments. Following the comment period, the Big-8
> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup
> rec.hunting.dogs.
> This group will be removed on 07 Apr 2008.
> RATIONALE: remove rec.hunting.dogs
> This is a dead group. There has been no viable activity on this group
> for nearly a year (maybe longer). Even before that, the activity level
> of this group was extremely low (no more than 1 or 2 posts per month).
> Note that this is despite the fact that the moderator (myself, the
> proponent of the removal RFD) dutifully checks for new posts on a
> regular basis (at least one per week).
> It is important to note that it is the moderator of the group who is
> initiating the proposal.
> HISTORY:
> The group was originally a spin off from rec.hunting back in the
> mid-1990's. Because of the number and nature of dog-related posts, it
> was felt a separate discussion group under the hierarchy of rec.hunting
> should be created. After an appropriate RFD & CFV process which showed
> very little opposition to the proposal, the group was created. The
> moderator was designated to be myself (Chris Barnes); to date, this is
> the only moderator the group has ever had.
> DISTRIBUTION:
> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:
> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)
> news.groups.proposals (moderated)
