 WD> A quick skim of P4 shows there are issues with these 
 WD> elements, but not limited to that ...
 WD> 
 WD> 1.3.1  FidoNews

Agreed -- and that was the impetus behind the previous two attempts to
amend P4.

 WD> 2.1.8 Exclusivity of Zone Mail Hour

Granted that this is now irrelevant for most systems.  Receiving netmail
and transmitting echomail can be done simutaneously for most systems.

 WD> 2.1.9 Private Nodes

??  why do you list this one.  It is true, and the potential exceptions
are noted.

 WD> 3.4 Minimize the Number of Hats Worn

Although still valid, it is more difficult to find people able to fill
every post.  Also, the word in the first sentence is "encouraged" which
is not a mandatory statement.

 WD> 3.5 Be a Member of the Area Administered

I can agree that this is not always honored, but probably only out of
neccessity.

 WD> 7 International Coordinator Procedures
 WD> (full section)

Yes -- we have not had an IC since the last one resigned and the ZCs did
not deem to elect another one.

 WD> 9.9 Echomail

What is wrong with that as stated?

Your listing above is reasonable, but shows far fewer problems with P4
than I pointed out with Echopol1.
