Hello Ward,

A quote from another area that you apparently do not read:

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.
