Zone 6 Election Progress Report

Edited by Carol Shenkenberger

(Note from xxcarol, due to their worry about use of english, I have assisted with minor edits and done the reformatting to make it fit the Fnews line length requirements. When I am not sure what they meant, I left it intact as sent. Barry Blackford and I will be working to keep the news flowing. If a line has an * at the start, it means I did a little assistance with grammar or spelling in that paragraph.)

ANY ERRORS IN MEANING DUE TO MY EDITS, ARE SOLELY MY FAULT!- XXCAROL

*AT>> Who collects the votes? The procedure of choices does not exist, the name Fan has collected votes.

AT>> I do not give a vote neither for, nor against, I agree with any result of choices. And I do not see, that can change in a zone 6, if have or not of the chosen coordinator. But I consider, that by most optimum would be to announce temporary ZC (for relation with the coordinators of other zones) Lawrence Fan, and we will help him to carry out other

(xxcarol note, the above has a double quote and I am unsure who was the text author. I've missed a few messages)

(Bin Li)
*BL> I think Lawrence can be a very good z6c.
BL> You,barry and me both will help him to do best :)
BL> Because we only have a fidonet.
BL> i think we will collaborate very good.
BL> Bin Li

(Anatoli Tung from here down except the xxcarol notes)

*I already wrote about my opinion concerning these choices. Now for more detail. The presence of a name of the coordinator in a line "Zone,6," will not improve and will not worsen a situation, it will be changed only by a lot *sysop's (who are) amicable, active and devoted to Fidonet.

*I add (to) my previous letter on it by such plan. On a role temp ZC I offer to choose Bin Li or Lawrence Fan, the name is not important, as we shall work together, though me imposes Fan. If Fan has collected votes, let he will inform them here, in Zone6Sysop.

(xxcarol note: Anatoli isnt totally clear above here so I cant touch it. I do know it's friendly and think he's asking Lawrence Fan about what votes he may have)

The important commission: WHO CAN INFORM it in Fidonews and ZCC-echos in English about new name of Z6C, as well as why him have chosen?

(xxcarol note: Barry Blackford and I both offered. I'm starting this note but the process will conclude while I am out of contact enroute to Japan or waiting for my computers to arrive once I'm there in Japan)

*I can inform, but if there will be questions, my English will be insufficient. If the Z6C will be Bin Li, Fan or Barry can inform. Already now it is possible to inform. Up to the arrangement with ZC I create the list, I hope, for a long time.

(xxcarol note: I told Anatoli and the others not to worry. Fidonews is about NEWS and COMMUNICATION, not about perfect grammar when it's a second language. What he says above is he can continue to generate the Z6 submission like he has been, as long as any new Z6C wants him to.)

*At transition of this work to another, I shall subscribe him to fileecho r64-list. This list requires constant manual processing, - removals of a superfluous line "Zone,6". I shall help to make the lists of r60, I shall help (if it will be necessary) to support links with networks of regions 60, 61 (Fatman), 62 (Wang), 63 (Carol). And resulted zonal segment will be named xxxxx.###. (Do not "xxxxxx", ### - number of next Friday, this is requirement of IC).

(xxcarol note: Anatoli knows ZC level nodelist processing and is working on cleanups. He's already got updates from one RC in Z6, in the echo as there was an ISP problem of some sort. I'll have to get with him on R63 segment but it's going to be very hard from here and he understands that. The actual names were edited out due to possible security issues for Z6).

*I also am interested in the opinions of Bin Li and Lawrence Fan, whether it is necessary that we have a gate for mail from the Internet for all domains in n###.z6.fidonet.org? It can be made. If you agree, I (will) try to do (this) (my friend in z2 has this gate, he agrees to gate for all z6 too).

(xxcarol note: Progressive bunch! I like it!)

*For close discussions, I shall do so: after one more week I change sysop-name in line "Zone,6," to: "Bin_or_Lawrence_and_Anatoli" if I have not have received votes from Fan, or to: name of elected person.

(xxcarol note: They have 3 candidates and are working out elections. Above are the names: Bin Li, Lawrence Fan, and Anatoli Tung. Note that Z6 culture is different and it's appropriate there to truncate to first names when they cant fit all the 3 names in the field).

*Therefore, I ask Bin Li or Lawrence to prepare the message for Fidonews within one week, that: after disapperance of Chris Leung and a long time without a coordinator in Zone6 (to?) inform news about itself... with names of all candidates and elected name.

(xxcarol note: I do not have Bin Li's email address but I can catch Lawrence).

*Other information and questions:
- I ask for (permit me to) include (if have) vietnamese, kasakhstanese and other Asians IP nodes in my nets.
- From next week I have CM-answered binkd at IP of my friend in Russia, so this allows links by binkp and ftp. (with continuous control by ftp from Kazakhstan or Vietnam). So from next week I will have binkd-argus link with Fan...

Chao,

Anatoli.
