2019 FTSC election, call for nominations
========================================


An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday, 10th of
November 2019 at 20:00 UTC.

As per FTA-1000.002 the number of FTSC members should be no less
than 7 and no more than 30. Presently there are 14 FTSC
members; 8 of those have terms expiring. That leaves room for a
maximum of 30-(14-8)=24 members to be elected.

From FTA-1001.007

3.2 FTSC Standing Members
=========================

FTSC members are appointed for a two year renewable term.
[50 of appointments on initial formation of the FTSC shall be
for a 3 year renewable term, to ensure continuity of the
Committee on expiry of the terms.]

To be selected as a FTSC member, an individual must be a
Fidonet node, and should be actively involved in Fidonet.
Examples include having put out a Fidonet-related product or
having updated a product in the preceding two years, or having
experience as a Coordinator, Echomail Coordinator or mail or
file Hub.

Standing members may be nominated Fidonet-wide by all of the
following methods:

1. Any RC.
2. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the
FTSC.
3. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the
ZCC.

A nominating committee may not consist of any current member or
officer of the FTSC.

Standing members are appointed on the basis of a vote by all
RCs who are nodelisted as holding those positions at the time
the nominations are published. A successful candidate must
receive approval by a majority of votes.
Publication of the nomination and the voting procedure, and
posting of RC votes, shall take place openly in the
FTSC_PUBLIC echo, and voting shall close three weeks after
publication of the vote.

The status of RC's will be determined by nodelist.305 of this
year by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they
reside.

All RCs and members of a nominating committee are hereby invited
to nominate members. Nominations must be posted in the
FTSC_PUBLIC echo.

Nominations start at Sunday, 10 November 2019, 20:00 UTC and end
at Sunday, 1 December 2019, 20:00 UTC.

Nominators are advised to sound out prospective nominees before
filing a nomination. There is little or no point in nominating
someone that has not shown interest and expressed willingness to
accept.

Note to candidates: The main task of the FTSC is to document
current practise. Contrary to what the name suggests, the FTSC
does not create standards out of the blue. Current Fidonet
practise evolves and when it has stabilized, it may become a
standard through FTSC documentation. Also, the FTSC is not an
enforcement body. Those who wish to join the FTSC in order to
"engineer Fidonet" may be in for a disappointment. Our main job
is that of a clerk. We write the technical manual, we do not
design the machine. To avoid disappointment, sysops interested
in joining the FTSC are strongly advised to read the following
documents:
