    The election for a new Zone 1 Coordinator will start on May 7,
    2018.  Please see the published schedule in the echos below, or
    in this issue.
    
    Andrew Leary and the rest of our Z1 Regional Coordinators have
    drawn up a voting procedure document and have posted it in the
    Z1C echo, and Z1_ELECTION echo.  The Z1_ELECTION echo is the
    place where the election will take place.
    
    Thank you once again to Andrew and all the Zone 1 RCs who have
    worked on this.  Thank you _also_ to Phil Kimble, 1:128/2 and
    Fred Riccio, 1:132/174, for taking on the Vote Counter and Vote
    Verifier positions respectively.
    
    Best of luck to all candidates, whoever you may be - I feel good
    about this and look forward to welcoming our new Z1C :)

    This would be even funnier if it weren't so true.
    
    The IRS returned a tax return to a man in New Jersey after he
    apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly.
    
    In response to question 23: "Do you have anyone dependent on
    you?", the man wrote: "2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1
    million crack-heads, 4.4 million unemployable scroungers, 80,000
    criminals in over 85 prisons, plus 650 idiots in Washington, and
    the entire group that call themselves politicians".
    
    On the returned form, someone at the IRS had attached a Post-it
    Note beside the question with an arrow and the words: "Your
    response to question 23 is unacceptable."
    
    The man sent it back to the IRS with his response on the bottom
    of the Post It Note: "Who did I leave out?"

                Jun 25 - Jun 28   Turnover from outgoing ZC to 
                                  winning candidate.
                Jun 29 -          New ZC appears in the nodelist and
                                  begins work.
    
    * Position to be Elected:
    
        The election is for the position of Zone 1 Coordinator
        (Z1C).  The responsibilities of the Z1C include but are not
        limited to:
    
        -- To compile the nodelists from all of the regions in the
           zone, and create the master nodelist and difference file.
    
        -- To represent Zone 1 on the Zone Coordinator Council.
    
        -- See Policy 4 for further details.
    
    * Voter Eligibility:
    
        The eligible list is based on the Zone 1 segment of the
        FidoNet NodeList published on Friday, May 4, 2018 (Day 124.)
    
        Each sysop has one vote, regardless of how many nodes s/he
        operates.
    
        Nodes with more than one sysop get only one vote.
    
        Nodes marked 'Down' are not eligible to vote.
    
    * Nominations, Candidates:
    
        Nominations will be placed in the Z1_ELECTION echo
        conference.  To be a candidate, a FidoNet sysop must be a
        current member of Zone 1, and be seconded by another FidoNet
        sysop.  In addition, due to the technical nature of the
        position, current or previous *C experience is required.  An
        individual may not nominate himself or second himself. 
        Nominations, seconds, and acceptances MUST be confirmed via
        netmail to the Enforcer at 1:128/2 BEFORE the close of the
        nomination period.
    
    * Election:
    
        At the close of balloting, the Enforcer will send all
        ballots to the Verifier to verify the results, and a summary
        of the results will be posted in Z1_ELECTION.
    
        The Enforcer will not disclose any node's vote to any other
        node, except for the Verifier.
    
        In the event only there is only one candidate properly
        nominated s/he will become the new Zone 1 Coordinator,
        effective May 25, 2018.
    
    * Comments by the Candidates:
    
        Comments by Z1C candidates are to be posted in Z1_ELECTION
        no later than 23:59:59 UTC on May 27.  After that, they must
        STOP campaigning in Z1_ELECTION until the voting period
        ends.  All discussion will take place in Z1_ELECTION.
    
    * Who Wins?
    
        The winner will be determined as the candidate receiving
        more than half of the number of valid votes, otherwise known
        as an absolute majority.  In the event no candidate receives
        an absolute majority, the Enforcer will schedule a run-off
        election between the top vote getters.
    
    * Challenges, Election Results:
    
        The results may be challenged by sending netmail to the
        Enforcer at 1:128/2.  It must be received before 23:59:59
        UTC on Jun 24, 2018.  No complaints or contested votes will
        be considered if received late.
    
        The Enforcer has the final say in all matters relating to
        the election, including the eligibility of candidates and/or
        voters.
    
        If the election is declared invalid, a new election shall
        begin as soon as possible, within 14 days of the previous
        election being declared invalid.
    
    * How to SEND your vote:
    
        ALL BALLOTS MUST BE NETMAIL ADDRESSED TO 'Enforcer' at
        1:128/2.
    
        You can route your ballot if you choose, but if you value
        your privacy and want to ensure arrival, you should send it
        directly to 1:128/2.  Return receipts will be sent via
        direct or routed netmail.  Those return receipts will
        contain NO information except that a vote was received from
        your node.
    
    * HOW TO VOTE:
    
        - Write a a NETMail message addressed to 'Enforcer' at
          1:128/2.
    
        - Subject line doesn't matter.
    
        - Write the name of the valid candidate you want to vote for
          in the body of the message.  A final list of valid
          candidates will be posted on May 21 in Z1_ELECTION. 
          Write-in candidates are not allowed.
    
        - Make up a password of ten (10) characters or less, and put
          that in the body of the message too.
    
        NOTE:  Your password will be displayed (case insensitive)
        with your choice in Z1_ELECTION so you can know that your
        ballot was counted correctly.
        In addition, votes received that do not meet ALL of the
        above conditions will not be counted until corrected by the
        voter.

      When your vote is received, it will NOT be machine-processed. 
      Don't poll to pick up a receipt.  The Enforcer will send a
      direct or routed netmail receipt to you confirming that he
      received a ballot but there will be no other information in
      the receipt.
    
      To ensure that your vote was counted properly, you may check
      the periodic posting of passwords/candidates in Z1_ELECTION.
    
      Thank you to Phil Kimble (1:128/2) for agreeing to serve as
      the Enforcer, and Fred Riccio (1:132/174) for agreeing to
      serve as the Verifier.
    
    * That's it.  Enjoy the election!
    === Cut ===
    
    The RCs have made a few minor changes to clarify things and
    ensure that the election runs smoothly.  As of now, the election
    is in the hands of the Enforcer, Phil Kimble of 1:128/2.  Please
    contact him with any questions.

    More Information about the FidoGazette:
    
    Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.  
    
    If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
    contact me :)
    
    Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
          http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
    
    Or you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick
    compatible program.
    
    Where to Send Your Articles
    
    Unlike most editors, I surely do not  mind running my mouth when
    there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine.  I'd MUCH rather
    you sent in material...  lacking that, I will fill these issues
    with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
    something of consequence here :) Write an article!
    
    If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your
    article off at:
    
     Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
     
     Fidonet attach: 
      Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 
      Modem: 607-200-4076
      Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 
      telnet mailer: filegate.net
    
    If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as
    routed attaches.  They may fail somewhere along the path before
    getting here.  Send them instead in the body of your routed
    netmail to janis@filegate.net
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one or your email address and send it along!
    
    Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
    and mutilate it further as you can see above.  Linux is nice
    that way (g).  Spell checking your own work will help though
    (something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
