Hello Dale,
We choose to change the Policy4.
1. The ZCs select an IC.
OK.
Any 2 ZC's could gum up the works by refusing to go along.
2. The 31 RCs agree on a new proposal, needing 16 to make up a
majority.
Actually, what you need is 16 to make a quorum, and then a majority of those voting to agree.
Any 4 RC's could gum up thw works by refusing to play.
We had 19 active RCs in the recent FTSC election, so only
12 were dormant. Maybe the sysops in those regions <see below> can
wake up some of the dormant RCs even?
Is that called poking the bear? :-}}
Sometimes it is best to let sleeping bears sleep.
3. From thereon it's just to follow the steps in P4.8.2 to 8.6.
Here is my proposal for the new 4.08:

I downloaded it, and did a fc on the two files. I see that all you are changing is to correct the zone number info for Fidonews editor. That
is exactly what Frank Vest tried when he made you editor. It fell on
deaf ears and got no response at all so far as I could see.
While Bj”rn's intentions may be noble, his idea to fix a flawed
document is no permanent fix of anything. Better to discard the
entire thing and write a new one.
Even if you stirred up enough to put it to a vote with the RCs and then with the *Cs, many of them may not bother to vote with the feeling of
"why bother -- this change fixes nothing."
Since P4 was never legitimately passed and ratified in the first
place, nothing needs to be amended. Just ignore it and move on with
a new policy document.
In particular, even if it passes, it would not make any other future amendments / revision easier.
Then do away with it entirely, putting it where it belongs.
In the trash heap of history.
