Hi there!

 NC> The prolog has been changed: R30 Switzerland has been added, and in
 NC> some places the wording has been changed.

Thanks for pointing this out. I somehow think the prolog should not list switzerland in the list of GDPR affected countries as switzerland is not a member of the EU. The EU regulations affects only swiss companies who offer paid services to clients within the EU.

Down to the details, FidoNet in switzerland is not:
- Having an office in the EU area
- Not having EU residents as clients (it's not clear if non-paying entities are clients not not)
- Not offering data processing services in the financial sector.
- Not profiling EU resident.

Therefore, GDPR does not apply to FidoNet Region 2:30.

However, as switzerland is doing every rubbish the EU dictates, we can leave it in the prolog, as sooner or later it will be valid.

So, no work for you, Ward. :-)
