The earliest that the moderator of "news.announce.newgroups" will accept an RFD for one is six months after the RESULT message for the last vote was posted. I'd have to look it up on Google to find the exact date. However, if we do nothing to campaign between now and then, the vote will simply lose again. We should start now, going out and recruiting people to join this list, then urge them to vote for the group when it is up for a vote again. The only time that we are NOT supposed to campaign is during the voting period, between the first posting of the CFV (Call for Votes) and the RESULT posting. It's perfectly legitimate to campaign both before and during the RFD (request for discussion) period.
