Zone 3 has a new Zone Coordinator in the person of Alwyn Smith. This
|
|||
|
|
was announced in Zone 3 on 1 Aug 97 according to the published account
|
|||
|
|
that appears later in this Issue.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Congratulations, Alwyn. [Why is that name familiar?]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zone 2 has the same Zone Coordinator it has had since its last
|
|||
|
|
election (Ward Dossche).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why mention these under the Table of Contents entry: "What's wrong
|
|||
|
|
with this picture?"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Rant Mode on.]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Because in this Zone [Zone 1], Nodelist.220 contains the Zone 2
|
|||
|
|
Coordinator entry for three weeks ago and the Zone 3 Coordinator
|
|||
|
|
entry dated by David Nugent's resignation from the post and from
|
|||
|
|
FidoNet. There is no indication how old the Zones 4, 5, or 6 are from
|
|||
|
|
a casual viewing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Nodelist is FidoNet. The Nodelist is SUPPOSED to be current so
|
|||
|
|
Sysops can follow FidoNet Policy by using the most current Nodelist
|
|||
|
|
available. This is impossible when the compilation does not contain
|
|||
|
|
accurate and timely updates.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
FidoNet only has 6 Zones. We have all sorts of electronic routes for
|
|||
|
|
mail and files to get dispersed from Zone to Zone to Zone, etc. That
|
|||
|
|
being said, is there any good reason why EVERY Zone doesn't have the
|
|||
|
|
exact, same, dated segment for EACH Zone in each compilation in each
|
|||
|
|
Zone? Zone 1 certainly doesn't. That's obvious from Zone 1. What is
|
|||
|
|
the condition of the compilations in the other 5 Zones?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zone 2 - do you have the new ZC3 listed in your compilation? Zone 3 -
|
|||
|
|
do you have the 220 notation in your Zone 2 listing there? Zone 4 - do
|
|||
|
|
you even exist? We never hear from you. Likewise for Zone 5 and Zone
|
|||
|
|
6 - what's your story? Is FidoNet REALLY an international
|
|||
|
|
organization? It doesn't seem like it most of the time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zone Coordinators from ALL SIX Zones are cordially invited to respond
|
|||
|
|
to FidoNews and explain why the entire globe is not synchronized in
|
|||
|
|
Nodelist production when anyone can be linked to another in a matter
|
|||
|
|
of seconds at least once a week! Your responses will be published for
|
|||
|
|
all to consider.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Rant mode off.]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

Otherwise, it's a short Issue with a couple reports and some feedback
|
|||
|
|
to last week's items.

Hi Christopher,

Zone Co-ordinator Election
|
|||
|
|
==========================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Following ratification by the RC's, here are the results:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Alwyn Smith 73 (54.1%)
|
|||
|
|
Glen Harvy 22 (16.3%)
|
|||
|
|
Denise Webber 17 (12.6%)
|
|||
|
|
Carla Perry 7 (5.2%)
|
|||
|
|
Rob Hillis 6 (4.4%)
|
|||
|
|
David Hales 6 (4.4%)
|
|||
|
|
Kym Gotch 4 (3.0%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Alwyn Smith is therefore the new Z3C.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thank you to everyone for their patience with the delay in
|
|||
|
|
announcing the results and for participating.

Subj: Reply regarding Zone 6 name server request in FidoNews 1431
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With respect to Dr Ivan Shim, who signs himself the Zone 6 name server
|
|||
|
|
manager in his Fidonews 1431 article, it is important that Internet
|
|||
|
|
users understand that it is often desirable for name servers to be
|
|||
|
|
located far away from the domains which they serve.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Anyone who sends mail into a domain will have to query one of the name
|
|||
|
|
servers for that domain. If someone in the U.S. wants to send a piece
|
|||
|
|
of mail to someone in Taiwan, for example, it is inevitable that the
|
|||
|
|
mail itself will have to cross a transoceanic link. However, there is
|
|||
|
|
no reason that U.S. mail senders should be querying name servers in
|
|||
|
|
Taiwan about Taiwan addresses. It is far more efficient for a name
|
|||
|
|
server to be set up in the U.S. which can be queried entirely within
|
|||
|
|
the U.S. for information about Taiwan addresses, so that only the
|
|||
|
|
actual mail and not the name service queries will have to be passed
|
|||
|
|
FIDONEWS 14-32 Page 5 11 Aug 1997
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
over the expensive transoceanic bandwidth.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As a result, efficiency is promoted on the Internet when name servers
|
|||
|
|
for domains are established close to those who send mail into those
|
|||
|
|
domains, not necessarily close to the domains themselves.

INTRODUCTION
|
|||
|
|
============
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As detailed in FIDO1412.NWS, discussion has been underway since 01
|
|||
|
|
December 1996 in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo to define the mission and
|
|||
|
|
operating procedures for a revitalized Fidonet Technical Standards
|
|||
|
|
Committee (FTSC).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From 24 March until 01 August 1997, nominations have been accepted
|
|||
|
|
following the process detailed in the two documents, FTA-1000 (FTSC
|
|||
|
|
Charter) and FTA-1001 (FTSC Operations) which were hatched into the
|
|||
|
|
FTSC file echo in the early spring.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The next step is the voting process to appoint FTSC Standing Members,
|
|||
|
|
after which an Administrator will be selected, and working groups
|
