uk.current-events.* is the hierachy where newsgroups to discuss events in
the news in the 'Real World' can be formed. Note that in certain instances
a group in uk.politics.* may be more appropriate -
'uk.current-events.labouvative-party-split' could be better as
'uk.politics.labouvative-party-split'. In exceptional circumstances, such
as (hypothetically) 'The Great Salford Earthquake of June 31st 2010'
control@usenet.org.uk, on behalf of committee@usenet.org.uk, is empowered
to create a newsgroup in this hierarchy instantly, bypassing the minimum
10 day discussion period outlined in the Guidelines For Group Creation;
any newsgroup created in this manner shall be automatically removed after
30 days UNLESS (a) a formal RFD has in the meantime been submitted in
order to make it permanent, or (b) Control, on behalf of the Committee
decides, due to continued interest, to delay the rmgroup up to a maximum
of 180 days.
