- The procedure for setting up a new newsgroup (as detailed in one of
- the regular news.announce.newusers postings) is for the proposer to post a
- "call for discussion" (CFD) in news.groups (crossposted to relevent groups
- but with followups to news.groups). Assuming sufficient interest is generated
- the proposer takes the results of the discussion and produces the charter
- for the new group. He then issues a "call for votes" (CFV). If he receives
- sufficient votes within the required period then the group can be created.
-
- I would be interested in having a group for european skiing (to save me
- having to wade through hundreds of posts about skiing in the USA) but I don't
- think there would be sufficient traffic to warrent it,
