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.
