Nothing more to say really. ====================================================================== Voting and Appeal Guidelines This vote was conducted by a neutral third party member of UKVoting. UKVoting is a group of independent votetakers who count votes on behalf of the uk.* hierarchy and other 3rd parties. The rules under which votes for the uk.* hierarchy are taken are posted regularly to uk.net.news.announce or can be found at the following URL: The UKVoting web pages can be found at There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted to uk.net.news.announce. Allegations of irregularity should be sent to control@usenet.org.uk. ====================================================================== Rationale and Proposal from the RFD Rationale: There are already existing news groups in the uk.* hierarchy for discussions for 5 out of the 6 national BBC radio stations. With the introduction of the 6th station, the proposer believes that creating a newsgroup for the new station would complement the existing BBC radio groups, providing people with a place to discuss station. The creation of a new news group uk.media.radio.bbc-r6 would be complementary to the exiting groups, conforming to the existing uk.* Usenet hierarchy and serving a need for a place to discuss the radio station. The proposed name uk.media.radio.bbc-r6 has been chosen over the name uk.media.radio.bbc-6music as the BBC has a habit of renaming their radio stations. The name will also fit into the current naming of the BBC radio newsgroups. Proposed Charter: uk.media.radio.bbc-r6 This is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of BBC Radio 6 music which is currently broadcast via DAB digital radio, digital satellite television (channel 911), and telewest digital cable television (channel 909) and globally over the Internet via its website located at the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music. Topics reflect the programs broadcast on 6music and its wide range of music. Advertising Commercial and personal advertising is forbidden. However announcements of relevant events are allowed.
