[I'm reposting this to n.a.p since a lot of the interested parties may
 not get eunet.misc.]

(See my posting in news.lists of Sunday morning.)  Is this right?

Christophe Wolfhugel <Christophe.Wolfhugel@grasp.insa-lyon.fr> points
out that strictly speaking `eunet' is an organisation, not a region.
So is there a distribution that really just means `Europe' without
overtones?  Should we invent one (`eu' perhaps)?  And perhaps a
matching hierarchy?

(And I include non-EC counties in `eu', so perhaps we should have `ec'
as well for issues just concerning EC countries.)

Please mail or post replies.  I'm happy to invent and carry an `eu.*'
or `ec.*' hierarchy to get it going, and share it with anyone over mail
or UUCP that wants to participate.
