RESULT
misc.business.credit will be removed

The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 28 Mar 2007 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 misc.business.credit.

This group will be removed on 09 Apr 2007.

RATIONALE: remove misc.business.credit

The last approved message was in September 1999. There had been
roughly 5 approved threads per month for the first three years of the
newsgroup (October 1995 to September 1996). For the final year, there
was typically only 1 or 2 approvals per month.

Alternatives include:

(1) Assign a new moderator.

(2) Convert the newsgroup to unmoderated status. I do not believe
that group with "business" in its name can function as an unmoderated
newsgroup (see misc.business.records-mgmt, the only unmoderated
misc.business.* Newsgroup).

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
remove misc.business.credit

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated
newsgroup misc.business.credit.

to) occur in groups such as misc.business.moderated or
misc.entrepreneurs.moderated.
