It's not good idea for our region: we have very different problems who are
not understanding peoples in other countries. Language problem - one of
them (large part of active sysops our region not know English; in many
networks even NC can't write English message for ZC)... Problem "ZMH
in east networks" - other, and it can't resolve with Zone2 (temporally
solve of Ward "ignore ZMH" - not good in common sense). And we
have another problems that I not listed there.

Split R50 for 10-20 other regions resolve only one problem - vote in
FIDONET referendums (elections). But other...

So for our region need one Coordinator, who know of our problems and can
resolve them. If it may realised in Zone2 - beatiful :-) ! But Zone2 has
many other regions (countries), so this regions will jam... Best way - own
zone.

Sysops of our region has different opinitions, so one votes with more
"power" can't use for our case.

Please answer, which FIDONET's nodelist has "Othernets" as Zone
7? Other networks are not interesting - it is not FIDONET!
