North American Backbone - Status and Changes
==============================================

BACKSTAT.NA

July 11, 2008

BACKSTAT.NA is a status report prepared by the North American Backbone
Robot. It is distributed in the BACKBONE file echo and posted in the
Z1_BACKBONE echo. It summarizes BACKBONE additions, deletions and
requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

Further information about the North American Backbone's distribution
system can be found in the BOFAQ (North American Backbone Frequently
Asked Questions) file which is updated as required.

============================================================================
1. Recent Additions to BACKBONE.NA (Since last revision on Jun 01, 2008)
============================================================================

This update constitutes a audit of the echoes made available on the
North American Backbone, no new echoes added.

46 Echoes moved from BACKBONE.NA into BACKBONE.NO
21 Echoes moved from BACKBONE.NO into BACKBONE.NA

BACKBONE.NA Net Loss = 25 Echoes.

============================================================================
2. Dropped from BACKBONE.NA into BACKBONE.NO
============================================================================

Original BACKBONE.NO contained 270 Echoes.

21 Requailified for BACKBONE.NA and thusly moved back into BACKBONE.NA

BACKBONE.NO Net Loss = 249 Echoes.

These 249 Echoes are to be considered unavailable and are destroyed.
A roster of these echoes will be hatched out into a file called:

BACKBONE.DST

New BACKBONE.NO will consist of 46 Echoes removed from BACKBONE.NA.

============================================================================
3. Dropped from BACKBONE.NO into BACKBONE.DST (Removed From Distribution )
============================================================================

249 Echoes.

============================================================================
4. Terminology
============================================================================

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

============================================================================
4. Special Notes Since Last Update
============================================================================

Being that this was an audit, publishing the list of echoes within this
file, which also gets posted into a a message echo would have proven
unwieldly. Therefore please consult the recently hatched files:

BACKBONE.NA
BACKBONE.NO
BACKBONE.DST

BACKBONE.INT, has been eliminated.

BACKBONE.DST is new, see Sections 3 and 4.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for four to
six months or more, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable, such was the
case for CANPOL.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================
5. Special Notes Since Last Update On December 16th, 2008
============================================================================

The DEBIAN and TAGLINES echoes were previously listed in BACKBONE.DST
as destroyed echoes, no longer in distribution. Effective with this
backbone update, both echoes have been removed from BACKBONE.DST and
relisted in the BACKBONE.NA file.

The OFFLINE echo was previously listed in the BACKBONE.NO file and has
been returned to the BACKBONE.NA file. Distribution remains unchanged as
this echo was still in distribution.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for four to
six months or more, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable, such was the
case for NHL.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

I have added the [GNG] notation to this echo within BACKBONE.NA, I will however
not rehatch a special copy of this file for the sole sake of this change and instead will wait until the next time a hatchable update is required.

North American Backbone - Status and Changes
==============================================

BACKSTAT.NA

June 22, 2009

BACKSTAT.NA is a status report prepared by the North American Backbone
Robot. It is distributed in the BACKBONE file echo and posted in the
Z1_BACKBONE echo. It summarizes BACKBONE additions, deletions and
requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

Further information about the North American Backbone's distribution
system can be found in the BOFAQ (North American Backbone Frequently
Asked Questions) file which is updated as required.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================
5. Special Notes Since Last Update On May 24th, 2009
============================================================================

HOME-N-GRDN was previously listed as a non-distributable echo in
the BACKBONE.DST, it is now returned to full status in
BACKBONE.NA.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

And is fully meshed within the NAB?

It probably doesnt..

Last year, I removed several dead echoes from the NA file that had been dead for eons... That echo was one of them.

Sean Dennis recently requested it to be carried officially again.

I am relatively certain that other members of the NAB last year didnt bother removing the echoes from their setups that landed in the BACKBONE.DST file as it was initially created last year. In this case this would include you and in the case of the echo, you didnt have to (re)setup anything.

I plan on revisiting the dead echo situation again during the July 4th weekend.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================

The DIABETES echo was previously listed in BACKBONE.DST as a
destroyed echo and was returned to distribution at moderator
request.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

5. Special Notes Since Last Update On Aug 22nd, 2009
============================================================================

This is a special rehatch of the backbone files that were processed on
September 20th, 2009. There was some issues with the File Processing
software that may have resulted in those files not propogating
properly, this should remedy that issue. No other changes were made.

The DIABETES echo was previously listed in BACKBONE.DST as a
destroyed echo and was returned to distribution at moderator
request.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

I forgot to update this section when I did the rehatch, I have since editted backstat.na and the change will reflect the next time an update is required..

The Change is as follow:

Brenda Donovan @ 1:10/3 has left Fidonet and obviously no longer a part of the North American Backbone.

==============================================

BACKSTAT.NA

April 11, 2011

BACKSTAT.NA is a status report prepared by the North American Backbone
Robot. It is distributed in the BACKBONE file echo and posted in the
Z1_BACKBONE echo. It summarizes BACKBONE additions, deletions and
requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

Further information about the North American Backbone's distribution
system can be found in the BOFAQ (North American Backbone Frequently
Asked Questions) file which is updated as required.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================
5. Special Notes Since Last Update On Jan 2nd, 2011
============================================================================

PERL echo was revived and removed from BACKBONE.DST.

CHWARE echo was removed from distribution by moderator request (netmail),
better late than never. This echo has been moved into BACKBONE.DST.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.
