No, and you need to stop throwing a tantrum. This group has existed for decades, and much of the work to maintain both the database and the code was done by Paul. The level of disrespect you show him is deeply offensive. You have no idea how much work that has been, or would be. And good luck finding a replacement, given your treatment of this man. Why would anyone want such a job if they're going to get heaped with abuse when they use their best judgment? I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement in this process, but it is far better to work the issue respectfully and patiently, recognizing that there are divergent views and needs.

The TZDB project is guided by RFC 6557. Section 4 allows the list to seek an alternate TZ coordinator where "The TZ Coordinator is not performing the function in accordance with community wishes". https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6557.html#section-4
The RFC instructs as follows:
Members of the community should raise the issue on the TZ mailing list and attempt to reach consensus on a new candidate to fulfill the role of TZ Coordinator. If rough consensus cannot be reached easily, the Area Directors of the IETF Applications Area should attempt to guide the members of the community to rough consensus. The candidate that is agreed upon by the community through rough consensus shall be presented to the IESG for confirmation. If rough consensus cannot be reached, even with guidance from the Applications Area Directors, the IESG shall use whatever means it has at its disposal to choose a candidate who in its best judgment will be able to fulfill the role of TZ Coordinator.
Is there consensus on the list that a change is required? Is there a candidate willing to take on the role of TZ Coordinator?
