A few weeks ago we have started a discussion in news.groups on initiating a new discussion area named comp.infosystems. Before starting the call for votes we would like to have some answers on a few questions These are: If the call for votes succeeds, who starts this discussion area? If it is us, how do we do this? Are there any additional costs connected with starting a new discussion area, other than the normal costs connected with using RN/Usenet? Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________________________________ Folkert W.

Traditionally, it's the party who proposed the group in the first place. I however don't recall ever seeing any written guideline on this, so in practice it seems to be whoever posts the first article. >Are there any additional costs connected with starting a new discussion >area, other than the normal costs connected with using RN/Usenet? Your time. 1/2 :-) You'll spend a lot more of that. >Folkert W. Wierda winffww@dutrun.UUCP Ed. A.
