   Hello Ward,   
      
   On Sunday June 19 2022 16:00, you wrote to me:

   A quote from another area that you apparently do not read:   
      
   === start quote ===   
      
    AL>   By virtue of geography, Z1 nodelists for a given julian day   
    AL> are produced a few hours after the Z2 nodelist for that day.   
      
   4) It need not be. There is no formal rule that ZCs MUST issue "their"   
   nodelist at or   
   shortly after 00:00 local time.   
      
   5) If the ZCs would coordinate and synchronise their efforts there need not be   
   delays.   
   For example ZCs could agree to issue nodelists at 00:15 UTC. The ZCs could   
   agree to   
   exchange zone segments with each other between 23:45 and 00:00 UTC. Segments   
   submitted   
   by RCs before 23:30 UTC would be guaranteed to make it into the next nodelist.   
   With Fido over IP there is no need for the old system of exchanging zone   
   segments on   
   Wednesday to make it into Friday's nodelist. With nodelist segments being   
   transfered in   
   seconds at virtually no cost, there is no need for such delays.   
      
   === end quote ===   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
