Hello Kees,

 LL>> Were you one of the many Zone 2 sysops who attended EUROCON III?

 KvE> I was, as far as I remember Michiel was not there.

Please.  Tell us more about what happened.  Especially in regards
to the vote taken by Zone 2 sysops pertaining to the Policy-4 proposal.

                   Announcement of Eurocon III 1989.


    At Eurocon II European sysops have agreed that some sort of
    central European organization should be formed which should
    control or administer European FidoNet.  Several committees have
    been appointed to draft proposals for such an organization.  As
    the committees have nearly concluded their work we wish to invite
    you to take part in the process of whether or not to form a
    European organization.

    The principal idea is to establish an organization which could be
    named European FidoNet Association, or EFNA.  It would not be
    meant as a separation from International FidoNet but as an
    organization which would represent Zone 2 FidoNet sysops in IFNA.
    Thus we would have a start in reorganizing IFNA in which e.g.
    American FNA, European FNA and Oceanic FNA would take part.

    To discuss the proposals, we are organizing a conference called
    EuroCon III in the weekend of May 19, 20 and 21 in Eindhoven, The
    Netherlands.  We are currently in the process of inviting some
    introducing speakers.  Apart from the official part of the
    conference we are organizing an interesting tour.  Also, the
    Dutch HCC and PCC are inviting you to a drink on Thursday
    evening.

    The main theme at EuroCon III will be "Democracy and European
    FidoNet".

 KvE> I had a nice talk with Randy Bush, while I gave him a ride from Eindhoven
to
 KvE> Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport.

What were his thoughts concerning "Democracy and European FidoNet"?
And what about your own?
