Sounds like a good idea to have a UNIX newsgroup.  Will this be a group
dedicated to /usr/group/cdn discussion or all user groups discussion or
UNIX discussion in general?  If it is for discussion regarding UNIX
then I suggest that the name be "can.unix".  We have a "uw.unix"
newsgroup and it is an extremely helpful forum for UNIX questions,
answers and other discussion.  I hesitate to call the newsgroup
can.usrgroup unless it's dedicated to User Group discussion, but I may
be out of line since I don't subscribe to comp.org.usrgroup and thus am
unable to base my conclusions on the content of that group.  It just 
seems to me that can.unix sounds more inclusive.
