I propose the creation of the 'Usenet Newsgroup List Advisory Board' (UNLAB).
Unlab would consist of 5 people drawn from a pool.  Each month, the oldest
member of the board (the chair) would rotate off and a new person
would rotate on.  Nobody would control the board or be able to stay on
it for long.

Question: how will the pool be selected?  I assume that whoever is
interested can be in it and the selection will be a random process,
but I've learned many times "obvious" assumptions can be wrong.

Hah! I love it! Newsgroup creation by Right of Arms! Hold a tourney, and the
winners get their groups! Can't you see the heralds now...

"In the blue list, Lord Brad of Temple Town will take on all challengers, to
defend the honor of rec.humor.funny. In the red list, Oleg of the Great
Heat will fight the collected mass of alt.flame. And, in the green list,
the members of talk.bizarre will demonstrate the fine art of hara-kiri --
on each other..."
