Exactly, its however the breeder wants to do it in the end.
Im going to send to all distributors. Its just makes the most sense. Its simple enough to contact each distributor and ask who from your respective sign up list for that strain is from each distribution area.
@George you arent going to dictate how it works. We went through this months ago. Its up to the breeder, period.

Right, if the “other” version wins there’s a vacant for EU distribution, your choice … 
We have already established that sebring is the official US distributor.
An “international link” would be a different member selected by you and other international distributors.
You can contact sebring and see if he is willing to send mail to international distributors. If not, it is up to the international distributors like you to find another solution.
You really are going in circles. I don’t think your google translate is working.

@George I will, at every opportunity, fight for your right to conduct yourself and your business as you wish. Regardless of how I feel about the subject.
I will also, 100 times out of 100, push back against you when you try to force other people to conform to your will. No hard feelings brother.

I’m afraid that breeders without distributors have nothing to do with their seeds, I am not dictating nothing, just accepted the post under certain conditions, if they change I am allowed to resign, that’s all …

That is your decision to make. And as we have all pointed, you can make alternative arrangements if you wish.
did you see this post?

I think we might just be losing something in translation. Let’s start over.
Under no circumstances would a seed ‘breeder’ have your contact information, they would send all seeds you need directly to the US distributor just like you want.

OK! well now that is resolved.
To get things back on track:
Sebring has been approved as the official US distributor.
International distributors will need to make arrangements for shipping from the US.
*Edit- I referenced a post which has since been deleted.
**2nd Edit- George has indeed resigned his duties as European distributor.

Didn’t read this one, if Sebring is my only contact for distribution it is fine for me …

not true. if they are on his distribution list they would have his address. In other words the breeder is of origin EU
Good stuff George, glad to hear it. Sorry if I made an ass of myself.

That would be between you and Sebring. You should discuss that with him, and see if he is willing to send international mail.
Sebring volunteered as a US distributor, and didn’t mention anything about international distribution.
He might be happy to, but it’s up to him of course.
Nah, as someone who just sent out seeds to distributors I can assure you there’s no reason we would have anyone’s addresses if we didn’t explicitly ask that person

And Gaz29 & Shadey, don’t forget that, maybe we should wait to see what Sebring thinks about it before continuing …

That is precisely what I just said in a previous message. In this one I was simplifying for the sake of your google translator.
I wanted to clarify the misunderstanding that the breeders were responsible. All matters related to international distribution are up to the international distributors themselves, and whoever they wish to coordinate with.
Yeap, I know you don’t use it as you expect all the people form the rest of the world to speak English and never learn other languages …
Our disaster recovery plan will never prevent loss, but it can mitigate disruptions caused by the loss and be structured to quickly adapt and fill any holes that appear.
Thanks for bringing that up. You’re right and I totally agree with you while also agree with the other folks about 1 top level shipper sends to other shippers. I also really want to mitigate my own exposure and not ship internationally with customs declarations and IDs and all that. I would rather ship to perhaps 2 US people who are OK with then doing the shipping to the international folks, kinda like @zephyr said, but perhaps structured a little different.
I don’t want to throw a wrench in the discussion, but what if all North American seed makers ship to two top level shippers in the US, then if seeds get lost at one top level distributor for any reason, the other will still have the same shipment and be able to at least send to the list of Regulars if the two lists of level 2 and level 3 members are the same size. Or something like that.
@Worcestershire_Farms I spoke to MOTR back in July about this and she said I could ship to her and she could send to the international folks. That’s why, when @SCJedi noted issues with that plan, I threw the flag on the field. I’m fine with one person, but as we’ve seen here, two’s better. 
Would you be willing to be the 2nd person going forward, to perhaps share with Sebring? Perhaps we can get a list of alternates going so they can step in as needed?

I mention this only because you specifically told me you use a browser translator in the past.
Thanks for implying I’m a xenophobe, in the middle of a friendly discussion about co-op logistics.

So upon this I should deduce that Sebring is the US distributor and also the person who international distributors should contact? That may be clear for you, I doubt for the rest, Google translator or not …
That’s up to you. I would recommend you get in touch with him, he may be willing to send mail internationally. Or he might not. That is his decision to make.
If he says no, I would encourage you to make alternative arrangements.
