%     comp.lang.programmer - for discussions of design/development Ada language
 issues
%                            (or comp.lang.technical or better name?)
%     comp.lang.announce   - moderated, low volume important announcements
%                            of meetings, products, standards, new mandates :)

the prefix comp.lang.ada.  I didnt type what I meant.

so the names would be comp.lang.ada.advocacy etc

Is anyone familiar with the call for votes process?
