Sample Directives (Real Life) to Formulate Local Policy
  Net Coordinators Guide at Region 17  - by Chris Baker (Zone 1)
In cases of any conflict of FidoNet policy, the current Policy 4.07 shall always prevail.
Chris Baker (former RC 18) said in a message to his NCs:
FidoNet is an arbitrary organization in many ways. When there is a question of interpretation of Policy, standards, or practice, the interpretation of the ZC and the RC council is the defining voice. Those who don't understand that or don't believe it or can't get over it need a new hobby.
