Mr. Kwang Sung,

As your poll indicates, there is probably not enough demand for the
new group.  I believe you will find that the problem is that the
current system for newsgroup creation doesn't allow for groups to be
created in order to stimulate demand.  The reason new groups are
created at all, in general, is that there is no suitable arena for the
topic, or that the topic is so popular, that it drowns out all others
in one or more existing newsgroups.  And this is as it should be; or
we would have a huge number of newsgroups; or viewed differently, a
keyspace unmanagable by an individual trying to decide what to read.

Therefore, should your proposal fail, you might consider resubmitting
it in a small number of years, when there are more ISO products, and
more experience with the protocol stack, as that is when demand will
require such a group.
