I subscribe to a few newsproups over on the rough and tumble area of usenet. I see someone is trying to start a rights-of-way group that could be interesting to some of you. I have copied following, hope it's interesting to those who can make sense of it!
Michael
I enclose a copy of the RFD (Request for discussion) for the newsgroup
uk.rec.rights-of-way. The original was not posted to uk.rec.boats.paddle
and uk.rec.waterways.
Access to rivers is an issue closely related to rights-of-way, and is an
issue close to the hearts of many canoeists and other water users. If
you are interested, please follow the discussion in uk.net.news.config.

Hi again.
Thanks for the advice received from a number of you either through the ng or
direct email.
I still have not had a response from control regarding my new RFD, so have
taken the opportunity to re write any areas as advised by seasoned veterans
of this electronic world.
Steve did suggest that as an RFD was posted (previously), wouldn't it be a
good idea to send out a message telling the proponent the next stages and
timeframes involved. I am assuming the meaning of proponent on usenet is the
same as the dictionary, ie: someone who advocates.(rather than the
proposer). I'm not trying to split hairs, but its meaning gets a bit hazy
depending to whom you are speaking, and its nice to know.
Below is a slightly re written version taking into account comments
recieved. I shall be passing this to control. Does anyone know if all is
well at control?
Request for Discussion for uk.rec.rights-of-way (unmoderated)
Proposed by: Chris Rudge (chris@g0wyf.freeserve.co.uk)
To be posted to: uk.net. news.announce
uk.net.news.config
uk.rec.walking
uk.rec.equestrian
uk.rec.motorcycles.trailriding
uk.rec.cycling
uk.rec.cars.4x4
uk.rec.climbing
uk.people.rural

Follow up to: uk.net.news.config
Summary:
uk.rec.rights-of-way UK rights of way and associated issues
Rationale:
Currently in the UK, particulary England, there are possible changes being
put forward regarding access to countryside and byways, (minor roads).
A discussion group is required to pool opinions from all users, whether on
foot,
bicycle, motor bike or car.Presently, rights of way users from different
disciplines
do not have a news group type environment to post opinions, this proposed
group
would create a common ground to do so. Also local issues such as footpath &
byway
closures and re classifications, can be covered, with users nationwide
advising
others on wide ranging and possibly complicated rights of way issues in
their area.
Procedure:
This request for discussion will be discussed in uk.net.news.config for 14
days.
If there is sufficient degree of support it will be fast tracked.
Charter:
uk.rec.rights-of-way is for the discussion of all Rights of Way, be they
footpaths,
bridleways or byways, within the UK
ADVERTISING
Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:
Suppliers of goods and servicesrelevant to Rights of Way in the UK may post,

visit their web
site or request details. The subject line must begin "ADVERT:"
BINARIES & FORMATTING
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.), are *forbidden*,
