Except that there's no established procedure for changing the charter
of an existing USENET newsgroup.  It's been done a few times in the 
context of changing an unmoderated group to a moderated group, but I
think the only way one can currently change a newgroup's charter is 
to propose a _new_ newsgroup with the desired charter.

Until the rules about how to change the rules are changed, not much
of anything is going to get done (try and parse that one!).
