Well...news.announce.newusers, I believe, has as one of its periodic postings
one on how to create a news group.  The process starts with discussion (and
a call for discussion, posted to certain news groups) and ends with the
completion of a vote conducted according to certain rules.

You'd want someone with reasonable connectivity to conduct the vote, to
minimize the likelihood of lost votes (which, BTW, must be emailed--posted
votes turn people off).  Is there a volunteer?
