- end of election -
2) Who may be a candidate?
2.1) Candidates must be listed as a sysop in Nodelist.162 of Friday
10 June as issued by, or on behalf of, the ZC of the zone he/she
resides.
2.2) Candidates must present themselves by placing a messages in the
echo addressed to "Election Coordinator" with subject "Candidate".
The message must arrive at the system of the election coordinator
before the deadline of Saturday 25 June 23;59.
Candidates are encouraged to post an "election platform", stating
who they are and why they think they will be the best for the job.
2.3) The election coordinator will acknowledge the candidacy with a
message in the echo.
2.4) To avoid confusion please use names as written in the nodelist.
2.5) Any participant may and is encouraged to challenge the
candidates and enter into debate.
3) Who may vote and how to vote?
3.1) Sysops that are listed with a node that is not flagged as Down,
Hold or Pvt in nodelist.162 as published by, or on behalf of, the ZC
of the zone in which they reside may cast one vote. Unfortunately
some NCs have been playing games with the nodelist thereby creating
the suspicion that the nodelist contains nodes that only exist in the
imagination of theNC. Since there is no independent objective way to
verify if a Pvt or Hld node actually exists, sysops of Pvt or Hld
nodes must unfortunately be excluded from voting. This includes nodes
that are listed without the Pvt keyword, but that list no contact
information for a mailer to connect.
3.2) Voting is confidential. A vote is cast by sending a netmail to
"Election Coordinator" at 2:280/5555. The body of the netmail must
contain the name of the candidate of choice and a password or pass
frase. Please use the spelling as listed in the nodelist. When
possible do not use routing, use direct mail when possible. Make sure
the mail arrives on the election coordinator's system before the
deadline. The time stamp of the election coordinator's tosser will be
the deciding factor. Voters may send a copy of the vote to the
verifying officer. This is a recomendation, not a requirement. At the
time of publishing this announcement, the position of Verifying
officer is still vacant. Candidates for the position are invited to
contact the election coordinator.
FIDONEWS 33-24 Page 5 13 Jun 2016
3.3) The Election Coordinator will acknowlegde reception of the vote
by netmail to the voter.
3.4) A vote cast is a vote cast. No second thoughts.
3.5) After the voting is closed, the election coordinator will
publish a list of the passwords that were received for each
candidate. The names of the voters will remain confidential. The
verifying officer will confirm the results. Or publish a correction
when applicable.
Happy election.
Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
Election Coordinator.

Remarks:
IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls)
INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
Notes:
To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
=================================================================
The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project
This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.
You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.
Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
your job, school or whatever.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art
Guest Editorial *.gue | Fidonet Current Events *.cur
Fidonet Interviews *.inv | Fidonet Software Reviews *.rev
Fidonet Web Page Reviews *.web | Fidonet Notices *.not
Getting Fidonet Technical *.ftc | Question Of The Week *.que
Humor in a Fido Vein *.hfv | Comix in ASCII *.cmx
Fidonet's Int. Kitchen *.rec | Poet's Corner *.poe
Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
Best of Fidonet *.bof | Letters to the Editor *.let
If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:
Björn Felten
Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
E-Mail b @ felten dot se
Skype file bfelten
IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
