    A locally compact group \(G\) is said to satisfy property RD with respect to a length function \(l\) if there exist constants \(s,c>0\) such that for every continuous function \(f\) with compact support, \[ \|f\|_{\text{op}} \leq c \left(1+l(f)\right)^s\|f\|_2, \] where \(l(f)=\sup\{l(x):f(x)\neq 0\}\) and \(\|\;\|_{\text{op}}\) is the operator norm induced by the left convolution operator. The author has shown that if in the short exact sequence \(1 \rightarrow N \rightarrow G \rightarrow Q \rightarrow 1\) of compactly generated groups, \(Q\) is unimodular and \(N\) has property RD with respect to the restriction of a word-length of \(G\), then \(G\) is unimodular. Further if in the short exact sequence \(1 \rightarrow N \rightarrow G \rightarrow Q \rightarrow 1\) of compactly generated groups, \(Q\) has property RD with respect to its word-length and \(N\) has property RD with respect to the restriction of the word-length of \(G\), then \(G\) has property RD.
