How does one go about establishing a new newsgroup on the ba.*
hierarchy?  I am currently work on the Pacifica Internet Cafe
(http://www.ci.pacifica.ca.us/) and am on a local mailing list,
pacifica-l (http://www.hallman.org/~bruce/pacifica/list.html).  We
feel that there is plenty of interest in town to get the votes we need
to get one, but are unsure how to go about doing it.  Ideally, the NG
would be ba.cities.pacifica.  Could someone please let me know how to
go about setting one up, or who to contact to see this process
through?  Would this be the correct hierarchy for such a group?
(basically the NG would be open for discussions of local issues and
events by those living in, or interested in Pacifica)

Any help would be terrific!  Thanks.
