For my part, these sections should be easy. Section "1.1
Introduction", should be a no brainer. In fact, it's not even needed
and has little to do with policy. Of course, every document needs an
introduction, I suppose. :)

The Fidonews should be fairly easy as well.

FWIW, this part could be discussed between the RCs and voted on as a
separate issue. For that matter, each section could be handled as a
separate issue.

As a side note: I would suggest that all of the posted chages be
checked for spelling and grammer. :-)

Regards,

Frank
