Procedures for bit.* changes?

Greetings! I have some questions regarding bit.* hierarchy newsgroups:

-- What is the procedure for splitting a group which already exists?

-- What is the procedure for making an already existing un-moderated list
into a moderated one?

-- Are there any FAQ's or other files which outline the necessary
procedures for changing bit.* newsgroups similar to the files that
describe the Big 7 and the alt.* newsgroups?

Thank you for any help.

Zoltan

I don't know what you mean. All bit.* newsgroups (except bit.admin and
bit.general) are gatewayed to mailing lists. Are you splitting a mailing
list?

The list owner also controls the newsgroup. If they want to change an
unmoderated newsgroup into a moderated they should send me e-mail and
I will add the moderator address to the monthly post of moderators, and
send out a newgroup control message for the group changing it to 
moderated.

Not for changing -- only for establishing.
