Ray Brown, 1:286/1701

A brief introduction...

Greetings and salutations! This is Ray Brown, 1:286/1701. I have been a member (SysOp) of FidoNet for almost 10 years, starting out as a node in Florida, then for a year in Oklahoma, and for the past 5 years, here in Missouri. For the past year, I have been NC / NEC of Net 286, and just last week I was elected Regional Coordinator for Region 14. (Condolences graciously accepted. :-)

I would like to go on record as saying, and I believe my Region will agree, my vote for the next Z1C will be for somebody that will start taking a proactive roll in revitalizing FidoNet, including but not limited to work on a new Policy to replace our 10-year-old Policy4.

Members of Region 14, get involved NOW. Make your opinions known NOW. We're already in Phase 2 of the Z1C Election, and I hate debating in a vacumn. If you don't participate in 14_REC, then NetMail me and I'll see what we can do.

Thank you!
