What difference does it make to have an RFD published in n.a.n.?
Publication in news.announce.newgroups means that: the Board is willing to entertain the proposal and make a formal decision on it; the proposal is probably not going to be rejected out of hand (see the types of proposals that are discouraged); the Board thinks the RFD is sufficiently complete to allow further discussion and revisions. The bare minimum for publishing a proposal in n.a.n. is a proposed name for a newsgroup, some indication of its purpose and scope, and someone willing to be identified as the proponent. further discussion will take place in news.groups.proposals.
