I'm afraid the AYE's have it (many were emailed direct to me). Pat has a valid
point. While the name is seemingly redundant, remember that the amount of
non-vms stuff that may find its way under vmsnet is still a contentious issue.
To the extent that non-vms stuff does appear under vmsnet, vmsnet loses its
connotation as implying vms-related topics. Making it explicit in this way would
then be more important.

Is there one? A search of my news.rc file for posix only turns up
vmsnet.vms-posix. Which makes it even more necessary to distinguish that this
group is for the VMS POSIX product, and not the POSIX standard(s).

Anyway, the group has been created now. If you'd like to propose changing the
name, feel free, and if there is a consensus that we should, we will.
