There seem to be a few people who have had questions as regards the zone
routelist, who can submit changes, and why the "+" flag. I hope this does
not add to the confusion.

Rule 1: Any zone 1 node can submit an ERN route *PROVIDING*

        a) that the node at the net level has agreed to distribute
        netmail to ALL the members of the net by whatever means
        available and/or necessary

        *AND*

        b) that the node submitting the route is either the zone
        level hub or the end node at the net level.

Rule 2: Any net can (probably should) have more than one route.

Rule 3: Routes not vouched for by the NC/NEC of the net involved,
        or by the RC/REC of the region in which that net resides
        are not considered "authorized" nets, no matter how reliable
        the route or the information about that route.

Rule 4: Unauthorized routes are noted by the presence of the "+" flag.
