Can anyone start a DU group?

[CoffeeCat]

Are there rules regarding the starting of a DU Group? Can anyone start a group?

Thank you for any info!

1. Post this question in the Ask the Administrators forum

They'll provide you with the answer.

3. Start a thread about the new group proposal in GD.

Include a proposed Statement of Purpose.
If the idea gets enough support, point it out to Skinner and go from there.

4. So, a new group is formed

if it has enough popularity--or people behind the idea?

You amass some support for the group and take your idea to an Admin?

5. That pretty much covers it.

Somewhere in the process you will probably need to describe where in the "topics" tree you want the new group to fit.

Depending on the purpose of the group, you may or may not need to describe why existing groups don't already cover the basis.
