I think then when you have a group that does have somebody responsible
for it, such as comp.org.*, moderated groups etc., then that somebody
should be able to create a subgroup without the annoying and wasteful
process of a survey/vote.   It sure saves a lot of time and fuss, and it
doesn't confuse the namespace any more than it already is.

In fact, I think that we should delegate semi-moderators in charge of
many of the larger groups who would have the authority to control the
subspace, adding and deleting groups within it, without putting everything
to the committee of 500.

I suppose it might be a good idea to have chances announced a few days in
advance, so that anybody with a serious objection (ie. a lot more than
"I don't like the name") can MAIL in, but that's about it.

Bravo to comp.org.usenix.roomshare for getting the ball rolling.

Anybody want to volunteer to take charge of comp.sys.ibm.pc?
