Good start, but I must humbly suggest (being a stickler for details
myself) that you post this as an official request for discussion in
balt.config and that after a period of discussion a formal vote be taken
whether to accept these guidelines that you've come up with. After all,
the adopting of a set of guidelines for a news hierarchy is no small
matter. What would the internet become if a few people were able to impose
their own rules for how these things should be governed without a proper
RFD or CFV? We wouldn't want to have anarchy here, would we? 8)

In the meantime, I'd like to see the details on the "traditional balt.*
management" that you mention, so that we all know what the *existing*
guidelines are.
