Summary: OK, jokers, here's my filled in form.

I'd like to propose a new newsgroup called "net.internat".  It was
discussed by a large number of Usenet participants at a European Unix
Users Group conference and consensus was reached that a net-wide
newsgroup was needed.  This consensus has been further shown by
postings in [the illegal immoral] net.internat and in net.news.group by
folks who were not able to attend the conference.  I don't recall
seeing a single poster who thought the group should not exist.
Consensus on the name is less widespread, with various factions
advocating longer or shorter names, subgroup of net.unix or independent
newsgroup.  The name "net.internat" seems to be a reasonable compromise
and acceptable to enough people.

Can the appropriate wizards wave the appropriate wands and create
a newsgroup?  Thank you.
