   Proposal: preliminary definition of new news group before CFD.
   CFD:  call for discussion 
         (CFDs for the same NG must have 12 weeks interval)
   CFA:  call for approval
   CFV:  call for vote
   CFR:  call for rejection
   CFX:  CFV, CFA or CFR
   Vote: Vote start
   Vote Result:
   Exec: Decision by the manager
   Result:

   note.  CFD and CFX can be simultaneous.
          When CFX fails, CFV is automatically accepted and the vote starts.
