                                    RESULT   
                    comp.ai.nlang-know-rep will be removed   
      
   The Last Call for Comments (LCC) on 26 Oct 2006 initiated a five-day   
   period for final comments.  Following the comment period, the Big-8   
   Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup   
   comp.ai.nlang-know-rep.   
      
   This group will be removed on 04 Nov 2006.   
      
      
   RATIONALE: remove comp.ai.nlang-know-rep   
      
   There have been no approved messages since May 1996.  The newsgroup   
   was a gateway for the NL-KR Digest, and I can find no evidence of the   
   existence of the mailing list after May 1996.  During the last few   
   months of activity for the group, several digests were posted to the   
   newsgroup in bunches about a month apart, possibly indicating a   
   problem maintaining the list.   
      
   The ftp web site on which an archive for the list was maintained   
   (sunnyside.com) is no longer accessible to the public, and attempts to   
   subscribe to the mailing list failed.   
      
   Much of the content of the mailing list was announcements of   
   conferences, calls for papers, or job openings, similar to articles   
   posted to comp.ai.  Other discussion may occur in the unmoderated   
   newsgroup comp.ai.nat-lang.   
      
      
   HISTORY:   
      
   The newsgroup comp.ai.nlang-know-rep was created in October 1987 as a   
   gateway for the mailing list NL-KR Digest.  In February 1993, it   
   successfully transitioned to a new moderated, and posting of articles   
   continued until May 1996.
