NewNostratic or New_Nostratic (NN for short :)) sounds OK to me.

Moving people over without their consent, even if it were possible (is it?), would be a breach of netiquette, IMO. We have to hope that most members will move to the spam-free avatar of Nostratic when you announce its existence and say "Let's go to another bar!" Just repeat the invitation after a few days to make sure that everybody reads it. If the new list does not come to life within a couple of weeks, well, "the best-laid schemes of mice an' men gang aft a-gley", and we'll have to learn to live with our everyday dose of computer commercials in Bahasa Indonesia.
Cheers,
