Depends. if you want an alt.xxxx newgroup, you need to discuss it in
alt.config, and then issue the necessary control message for the newgroup
and hopes someone dosen't try to remove it (alt.comp.doggysoft was an
example)

all the other heirarchies require an independant vote procedure with
various pass and time margins.

I suggets alt.comp.riscbsd
