Not follow up, reply. It's hard for a committee (or any one person) to decide whether a certain group makes sense. The question is whether there is enough interest in it, and what the name should be. A committee could choose the name, but it can't tell how many people are interested. Hence the voting (which is really more of an opinion poll.) Mark Horton
