Thus WWB-SWE.220 is a Regional forward list on the WWB distribution containing Swedish echos from Zone 2 Region 20. Submissions must follow this convention. Regional forward lists are controlled by the REC or Distribution Hub of the list origin, and as such the REC/Hub is considered Moderator/Owner of all echoareas on that list. WWB distribute for the echo owner, the owner of the echo retains all administrative control. Regional list Owners may include information within the Regional list file as to Hub locations, distribution and/or any special circumstances/rules associated with any or all of the list echos.
