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.

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.

VOTING PROCEDURE
|
||
FTSC STANDING MEMBERS
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
by Adrian Walker, 1:153/752
|
||
04 August 1997
|
||
|
||
Interim FTSC Web Site: http://www.portal.ca/~awalker/ftsc.htm
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
established.
|
||
|
||
VOTE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
FTA-1001, provides for the following voting process for FTSC Standing
|
||
Members:
|
||
|
||
=== Cut ===
|
||
Standing members are appointed on the basis of a vote by all RCs
|
||
and RECs who are nodelisted as holding those positions at the
|
||
time the nominations are published. A successful candidate must
|
||
receive approval by a majority of votes.
|
||
|
||
Publication of the nomination and the voting procedure, and
|
||
posting of RC and REC votes, shall take place openly in the
|
||
FTSC_PUBLIC echo, and voting shall close three weeks after
|
||
publication of the vote.
|
||
=== Cut ===
|
||
|
||
VOTING PROCEDURE
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
NODELIST.220, dated 08 August 1997, will be used for RC and REC
|
||
identification.
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-32 Page 7 11 Aug 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
All RCs and RECs clearly identified as such in that nodelist are
|
||
eligible to vote.
|
||
|
||
Voting commences at 0000 UTC on Saturday 16 August 1997 and closes at
|
||
2359 UTC on Friday 05 September 1997.
|
||
|
||
Each RC and REC ballot is to be sent either via:
|
||
|
||
* netmail to Adrian Walker at 1:153/752, or
|
||
* Internet email to awalker@portal.ca
|
||
|
||
Receipt of votes will be acknowledged by return netmail or email.
|
||
|
||
Ballots should include a password. The ballot format is given below.
|
||
|
||
Votes shall be "Yes" or "No" for each of the 26 candidates. An
|
||
abstention for any candidate is permitted.
|
||
|
||
APPOINTMENT
|
||
===========
|
||
|
||
A majority of "Yes" over "No" for a candidate is required for that
|
||
person to be appointed as a Standing Member. Abstentions are not
|
||
counted.
|
||
|
||
No votes or summaries of votes shall be posted prior to the conclusion
|
||
of voting. Within 3 days after the conclusion of voting, the RC and
|
||
REC votes shall be posted in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo. For each vote
|
||
cast, only the password and the result for each vote will be posted.
|
||
The identity of the voter shall not be shown.
|
||
|
||
To provide the required split between 2 and 3 year terms, Standing
|
||
Members will be ranked by the number of "Yes" votes received. The top
|
||
half of this ranking will be appointed for 3 years, and the remaining
|
||
candidates for 2 years.

To think that Zone 2 has the most nodes in Fidonet and I still don't
|

get any news. About that laptop I have received help on that and would
|
