Fernando,

If you are of the opinion that change is overdue, then now is as good a time as ever to initiate change.
If you are dissatisfied and of the belief that another ZC could do a better job, then get the ball rolling. But there is a challenge: an impeachment procedure of a zone-coordinator has never been attempted that I know of. Plus in Z4 there are 4 listed RCs of which 2 are absent. Of the remaining 2 which are technically functional one is the ZC himself so unless he votes against himself provided he wakes up, then I fear the chances of achieving it are close to nothing.
Another possibility is to create one or several IP-only orphan nets and have these accomodated in a region in another zone. Talk to the International Coordinator about this and see how he feels about that.

Don't say that. There are several people willing to help out...
