ONAG's primary role is to focus discussions on ott.* management, and provide a consistent and timely procedure for group creation and deletion. Just as importantly, ONAG ensures that groups that people think should be created are created, and carried in significant portions of the Ottawa region. Without a body like ONAG, group creation is an ad-hoc procedure that rarely achieves reasonable coverage.
As a secondary role, ONAG produces a list of "approved" ott.* groups.
