RATIONALE: Currently, those groups cannot be used for discussion because of the lack of a moderator. Most of those groups haven't had a moderator for a long time and have been unused for years. We consider it unlikely that they will ever be revived with a new moderator. Nonetheless, anyone interested in becoming a moderator for a group listed in this RFD is invited to contact the Big-8 Management Board. DISTRIBUTION: news.announce.newgroups news.groups.proposals news.groups Because of the magnitude of the group list, this proposal is not cross-posted to target groups. In the course of these proceedings the Board will post pointers to this announcement to appropriate groups. Readers are encouraged to take the initiative and spread the message. PROCEDURE: The procedure shall take at least 8 weeks, with announcements posted every 4 weeks: 1st RFD, 2nd RFD, and Last Call for Comments (LCC). The group lists may be revised during this stage and additional RFDs posted as necessary. Discussion about candidate groups should take place in the moderated group news.groups.proposals. After publication of the LCC, the Board will vote. If there are specific reasons to vote individually for some groups, the Board will do, but the default will be a ballot covering all groups.
