From: Dave Mayall Subject: Joint Statement by the committee and UK Voting Date: 1999/08/26 Message-ID: #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 935702553 mail2news:20049 mail2news mail2news.demon.co.uk Followup-To: uk.net.news.management Newsgroups: uk.net.news.announce,uk.net.news.config,uk.net.news.management X-Complaints-To: abuse@demon.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The committee, in consultation with UK Voting, has determined that it will not be possible to complete the CFV process for the changes to the document "THE UK USENET COMMITTEE" prior to the scheduled start of this year's election process. The committee and UK Voting take the view that it would cause confusion if we attempted to conduct the CFV alongside the committee elections. It further feels that it would not be considered acceptable to delay the elections. Accordingly, this RFD is to be suspended until the conclusion of the committee elections. The effect of this suspension will be to "stop the clock" on the proposal. Notwithstanding the actual passage of time, the RFD will not be regarded as lapsed after 40 days, and the current proponent will retain precedence. The committee and UK Voting do not however consider it appropriate to proceed from a 3 month old RFD to a CFV, and will require a further RFD to be submitted after the elections, but prior to a CFV. Should the proponent fail to submit a further RFD within 10 days of the publication of the results of the committee election, the proposal will be regarded as lapsed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN8UaJmOfGXkh8vHZAQFUKwP9Heji/oFiIOpmYKMtwsz4U9PTIvq3mEG6 eNKCj82KtF0adgwbZwRXa7l70mHArhDt7Wq13Z6uIm63Rt41iHy/gqeC3I/ezv1Y GsvFbnJZjumw4EPU3Iv/5lUBXJ/NQQ57WpZZqoy80qZHM5vc1F1bRQTf7lgtsofh 7S8uQqC3e3w= =iY32 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
