That's almost correct. See the reference you made to election from the
Britanica, below. That's what the above policy section is about.

You won't find it in Policy.

Ahhh, no wonder you're confused. (Oxford) But, pay close attention to the
1st definition; the action or fact of selecting.

 VD> "Election" is:
 VD> 1 a formal procedure whereby a person is elected, especially to a

This is correct, for election.

 VD> "the formal process of selecting a person for public

And so is this one.

 VD> So I back to question: what "election" make by IC?

Reference P4, section 1.2.7 where - "the IC chairs the ZCC and as the
overseer of elections -- arranging the announcement of referenda, the
collection and counting of the ballots, and announcing the results for
those issues that affect FidoNet as a whole." - from the meetings of the
ZCC. The IC is not the overseer of any *C elections. In fact, there are no
*C elections mentioned in policy. The one thing the IC can do in regards
to a ZC, is to reside over the impeachment proceedings of a majority of
the RCs in that ZC's zone.
