Not now. It was a longstanding tradition that only the moderators of news.announce.newgroups could circulate official RFDs. It is still the case that there is a difference between an RFD that is circulated by a proponent and one that has been published by the Board in news.announce.newgroups. After an RFD is published in n.a.n., further official discussion of the proposal takes place in news.groups.proposals, a moderated newsgroup.
