 VD>>>>>> Policy have information about elections only 3 places:

 RW>>> The RCs in council choose and appoint the ZC, they're known as the

 RW> Read Section 6.2 about 'selection'...

Next 2 strings...

 VD>>>>>> 6.2 - "The Zone Coordinator is selected by
an absolute majority
 VD>>>>>> vote of the Regional Coordinators within the zone."

Where is term "RCC"? Where is our "Conclave" (like as ZCC)?

 RW>>> Only by RCC. The IC has nothing to do with it and is merely another
 RW>>> ZC and is equal, but not higher than the rest of the ZCs, per
 RW>>> policy.

So - Z2C is not working, but I know it very long time...

 VD>> What "elections" it mean?

 RW> RCC policy referendum elections. Which in turn must be approved by the

Where is "election" in the Policy referendum? This is a selection
- one variant from many! Have no mans who "elected" to same
place.
