LANGUAGES:
        English preferred but Spanish is sufficient.

BACKGROUND:
The time has come for a newsgroup on Mexico and its culture, and to
complement and broaden the scope of MEXICO-L. This was discussed 
briefly last month in  soc.culture.latin-america  and this is the
formal request for discussion and to invite readers for a forthcoming
voting period, barring major objections to it.

COMMENTS:
This request is to follow the guidelines for USENET newsgroup creation
that also recommend that followups be forwarded to news.groups where the
actual discussion shall take place. After the duration of the discussion
period of 4 weeks, the call for votes will be issued.
