    Don’t create a “MySettings” group. Put whatever you need in the AppSettings group.

    You COULD create a mySettings group, but if you do include custom (non-standard) configuration sections, you have to declare them in a configSections element as described here or here.

    I’d question if it’s really necessary, however and go with my first answer unless there’s a really good reason for adding custom sections, because it’s just better to follow the normal standards. It just makes it easier on future maintenance programmers.
