From: "Chris M. Dickson" Subject: Notice: CFV concerning uk.politics.censorship cancelled Date: 1998/12/23 Message-ID: <-Notice-F4Fo69.MAv@clw.cs.man.ac.uk>#1/1 X-Mail2News-Path: news.demon.net!m1.cs.man.ac.uk!clw.cs.man.ac.uk Approved: Charles Lindsey acting as control Sender: control@clw.cs.man.ac.uk (Charles Lindsey) X-Trace: mail2news.demon.co.uk 914442856 mail2news:17987 mail2news mail2news.demon.co.uk Followup-To: uk.net.news.config Newsgroups: uk.net.news.announce,uk.net.news.config,uk.politics.censorship X-Complaints-To: abuse@demon.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- After discussion between the Committee & UKVoting, it has been decided that the ongoing uk.politics.censorship vote will be declared NULL AND VOID following a request from the proponent to withdraw the CFV. The proponent, Andy Mabbett , gave these reasons for withdrawing this CFV: "It is clear that the issue of restricting crypto sig sizes arouses more and stronger feeling than had been apparent during the RFD period; in order that that this does not result in the HTML-prohibition baby being thrown out with the crypto bath-water I have therefore submitted to control a further RFD to allow this issue to be debated more fully. Once there seems to be a consensus emerging, I will call a vote including that (or call for a fast-track if the committee permits)." This decision has been taken purely on the merits of this individual case; any potential future similar decisions that we may make will likewise be taken purely on their individual merits. Accordingly, this decision must not in any way be taken to be 'setting a precedent' for action on further withdrawal of any CFV which is in progress.
