[rti4empowerment] ARE YAHOO GROUPS CLOSING DOWN?

 

Dear Urvi,

I am ascertaining the position from yahoo group authorities and would revert
back, shortly.

Message posted in the Moderator Central is placed below, for kind information.

files. If you have a specific groups that has no content in it you can avoid
this deletion process by simply posting one message to your groups messages
feature, uploading a photo or file.

Dear Layla,

I am owner/moderator of yahoo groups rti4ngo and rti4empowerment. There has been
a major controversy ( evident from emails placed below) and some one is
asserting that yahoo groups would close down on 15.1.2011.

I have visited yahoo group blog at http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/?p=958, to
ascertain the factual position. There is no indication about yahoo groups
closing down, in this blog. I have therefore joined Moderator Central, to pose
this question, so that I can reply with authority.

You are therefore requested to kinkly confirm the position. In case there was
any intimation to group owner/ moderators in this respect, which I have missed
out, you are requested to kindly send a copy.

Thanking you,

Dhirendra Krishna

"rti4empowerment", the membership list of that group has been forwarded with a
specific request that IDs of the members be added to this group.

false and evasive. The reality is that there are other moderators, such as
"bhartiya", "Colshivraj", "Colnrkurup", :"ckjain" and 4 other avatars of
yourself. Anyone of these accounts could have been compromised.

> c) The possibility of impending closure of Yahoogroups has been circulated to
many Yahoo group owners and moderators, including yourself. You, and all your
list moderators, were also repeatedly offered the opportunity to stake claim to
the "rti4empowerment" and :"rti4ngo" OPENID groups at googlegroups (a copy of
which is in our possession). Upon your default to claim these groups, they have
been snapped up by one of your moderators. It is clarified though that the
list-owner of Humjanenge googlegroup is not associated the list-owner of the
rti4empowerment googlegroup.

> d) Anyone who wishes to unsubscribe from HJ-GG can do so. It is an automated
process over which the list owners have no control. Till date about 72 persons
(including repeats ) have used this facility (ie about 4% of the members
added). Sh. Mander was advised that since many group memberships lists
(lawfully obtained) are being added to this list, having multiple memberships of
other groups could result in his being unsubscribed and resubscribed. I
reiterate that there is no question of forcing spam on unwilling netizens.
>
> e) Lastly, there is no question of "borrowing" membership lists. The lawfully
obtained membership lists are being "copied" / "archived" to this list,
including as a backup in the likely event of Yahoogroups being closed down. If
you have a problem with the persons you have annointed as "moderators" it is for
you to resolve with them. I would also caution you that you may find that it was
"you" who circulated your group's membership list to outsiders, a fact which may
not settle well with your list's members.
