For your newsgroups file:
soc.genealogy.benelux	Genealogy in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

  soc.genealogy.benelux is for genealogy and family history
  discussion among people researching ancestors, family members, or
  others who have a genealogical connection to any people in any
  part of the Benelux countries (Belgium, The Netherlands and
  Luxembourg).
 
  The group is open to anyone with an interest in genealogy in any
  of the populations in or from this area, including, but not
  limited to: people who live, lived, or may have lived there;
  emigrants; immigrants; colonists; residents of former colonies;
  and their descendants.
 
  The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations,
  and the realities of researching public records and genealogical
  data archives, and includes questions of local customs and
  history, or of regional or national history which affected the
  lives of these people and which are difficult to research in the
  present. Posts are expected to be mostly in English, but may be
  written in any language. Dutch, French and German are spoken in
  different parts of the region, and posts in those languages are
  anticipated and will be welcome. Posters who wish a translation
  of a post into another language may ask in the group for help.
 
  The focus of the group is on people, researched for genealogical
  purposes.  Postings on topics unrelated to genealogy are not welcome.
 
MAILING LISTS AND GATEWAYS
 
  The group will be gated to a mailing list for genealogists who do
  not have access to Usenet. The gate will be two-way, so that all
  messages posted on either side will appear on both sides.
 
  The name of the mailing list is soc.genealogy.benelux@omega.ufsia.ac.be
