SECTION FIVE: Further reorganization of the rec.arts.movies.* hierarchy

(5.1) In what newsgroups should the initiation of such proposals be
     discussed?

When there are demonstrated needs of additional newsgroups or
further divisions in rec.arts.movies.*, interested individuals should
discuss/debate such activities in the affected subgroups within the
rec.arts.movies.* and to rec.arts.movies.misc as well to
generate discussions among readers.

Examples :

Splitting an existing subgroup :

If you are interested in further division of rec.arts.movies.people
into rec.arts.movies.people.actors and rec.arts.movies.people.directors,
you should post your threads to rec.arts.movies.misc and
rec.arts.movies.people.

If you are interested in creation of forums for art films or
independent films within the hierarchy, you should post your
threads to rec.arts.movies.misc, rec.arts.movies.current-films and
rec.arts.movies.past-films.

Creation of new subgroups :

If you are interested in creation of rec.arts.movies.marketplace, etc,
you should post your thread to rec.arts.movies.misc only.

Once a feasible and acceptable proposal for further reorganization
has been worked out among readers, you should then proceed to
take the official steps involved in the creation of Usenet newsgroups.
This will involve moving the discussion to news.groups. Please
read (5.2) for further info.
