Representative of the Council of Zoners

Message reads:

Mr. Harrison,


We very well know that our neutrality comes at a price and sometimes it is a double edge sword. We currently have several situation on the table before us, some of which deal with this same issue that you have brought forth. Also being who we are, not all Zoners follow the advice of the council and do as they please, which is their prerogative. That individuality is what makes enforcing our NFZ policies difficult at times.

As for piracy against Zoners, amazingly enough it is not as bad in other regions of Sirius. I personally have only been hit up for donations maybe 5 times in my career. Most of those were reasonable request too. I will admit that I do not come into Liberty space, although most of my employees do. Piracy is something you take with being a merchant or transport pilot. It's a fact of life. Now Mr. Holiday travels more in Liberty then either myself or my employees do, so maybe the piracy situation is worse in Liberty then in other areas of Sirius.

Very soon Zoners will be making an announcement. We will be proclaiming, in writing, what our policies are. Now we will be asking each house to ratify this document. If the Liberty government were to be the one of the first to do this, we would be inclined to bend a rule or two. We feel that if Liberty ratifies these policies that others would surely follow.

Sincerely
Samuel Nichols
CEO - OSI
Council of Zoner representative
Member of the SHIZL
