Hi Mark,

 PS>> That would be your interpritation of what it says.

 PS>> To me it says an IC must be a current serving ZC.

ml>and the portion in P4 about not wearing too many hats doesn't even come into
ml>play??

ml>FWIW: the above is an almost verbatim explanation that i was given by one of
ml>the creators of P4 way back before the actual polling/voting took place that
ml>placed P4 as fidonet's policy...

ml>i'll state again that no where in P4 does it state that the IC must retain
ml>their ZC hat and P4 specifically states that one must not wear too many
ml>hats...


and the part of P4 that says the ZCs' elect an IC from among thier
rank ?

A person who is not a current ZC is not amongst thier rank.

 cya later,

 Paul
