They assist people who want to propose new groups with the formation and submission of a good proposal.
The basic process is as follows:
Step 1
A request for discussion on creation of a new news group should be posted to news.announce.newgroups, and all related groups.
Step 2
The name and charter of the proposed group and whether it will be moderated and by whom, will be determined during the discussion period. If there is no general agreement after 30 days, the discussion will stop. In order to proceed a new proposal must be submitted as Step 1.
Step 3 The vote
The Usenet Volunteer Votetakers (UVV) are a group of neutral third-party vote-takers who currently handle vote gathering and counting for all news group proposals. The co-ordinators of the group can be reached at uvv-contact@amdahl.com; contact them to arrange the handling of the vote.
