The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 2025-05-09 initiated a five-day period for final comments. Following this comment period, the Big-8 Management Board has decided by a vote to remove the group comp.compression.research. The vote was 3 in favour of deletion and 1 not voting. Newsgroups Line: comp.compression.research Discussions about data compression research. Distribution: news.announce.newgroups news.groups.proposals comp.compression comp.compression.research Proponent: Marco Moock <mm@dorfdsl.de> Charter: comp.compression.research is for discussion about data compression research. Rationale for removal: The group currently doesn't have a working moderation system, so nobody can post. The last posts were made in 2012. Even some years prior the on-topic traffic was very low, so reviving it is rather unrealistic. The current moderator, Niels Fröhling, communicated to the Big-8 Management Board in December 2024 that he doesn't think he can moderate the group nowadays and that "closing the group is probably the best thing to do". The unmoderated group comp.compression exists and can be used to discuss the research of compression. https://groups.google.com/g/comp.compression.research Discussion so far: No comments were received in response to the first and second RFDs, nor to the LCC. History of the group: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/comp/comp.compression.research.gz comp.compression.research was an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 312:10 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 19 Jun 1992. It was changed to moderated in 1993. It has been unused since 2012.
