This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove the moderated newsgroup comp.compression.research. The Big-8 Management Board plans to begin voting on this proposal after five days. Please offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting period. Voting may take up to one week (seven days); a result will be posted following the end of the voting period. Newsgroups Line: comp.compression.research Discussions about data compression research. Distribution: news.announce.newgroups news.groups.proposals comp.compression comp.compression.research Proponent: Marco Moock <mm@dorfdsl.de> Charter: comp.compression.research is for discussion about data compression research. Rationale for removal: The group currently doesn't have a working moderation system, so nobody can post. The last posts were made in 2012. Even some years prior the on-topic traffic was very low, so reviving it is rather unrealistic. The current moderator, Niels Fröhling, communicated to the Big-8 Management Board in December 2024 that he doesn't think he can moderate the group nowadays and that "closing the group is probably the best thing to do". The unmoderated group comp.compression exists and can be used to discuss the research of compression. https://groups.google.com/g/comp.compression.research Discussion so far: No comments were received in response to the first and second RFDs. History of the group: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/comp/comp.compression.research.gz comp.compression.research was an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 312:10 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 19 Jun 1992. It was changed to moderated in 1993. It has been unused since 2012. Procedure: Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should subscribe to news:news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.proposals. All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals. If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.
