Tradition says its where talk and votes about creating news groups goes.
Its not about the administration of a particular news server,
it is about which groups exist as balt.this or balt.that .

Who gets to vote?? I've been in newsgroups for 15 yrs and never have seen
these things done publicly, it always done behind the scene. As a Bell
Atlantic employee I know damn well Bell Atlantic.net is a new player to the
newsgroup and really shouldn't be setting policy. The descisions you discuss
really aren't made publicly so this list really serves not purpose on a
public list. In fact these 3 messages are the only ones I've ever seen on
the list, not that I belong if often or for long periods.

Anyone & everyone can vote, and usually they do.
Look up what an RFD and CFV are, then go ahead and issue your own RFD.

Anyone with a unique mail address who reads news can vote.
It needs someone who cares enough to count the votes and it
takes a little tech. skills to issue the create-group msg
to make anything happen though.
