Do we want to apply this to newly established newsgroups, or require
"EVERY" current newsgroup FAQ documents to go through this again?

If we apply this to newly formed newsgroups only, the problem
soc.culture.russian is now facing cannot be solved.

If we apply this to current newsgroups, you can imagine how heavy a load
for news.answers moderation team will show up. I am afraid the backlogs
for the moderation process for news.answers will be more than 2 years.

Once I was interested to join the moderation team if I can easily catch
up with the skills required, to contribute my time for Usenet community.
However, if the moderation team should also handle voting processes and
results, I guess I would not.
