                2011 FTSC election, call for nominations
                By FTSC administrator, 2:2/20



An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday 6 of November
2011 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. Of the present 15 members, 7 of them had their
term expire this year. That leaves room for a maximum of 30-(15-7)=22
members to be (re)elected.


From FTS-1001.005

  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 or REC.
  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 and
  RECs 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 and REC 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 and REC's will be determined by nodelist.310 for Z2
and for the other zones by nodelist.308 as issued by the ZC in the
zone where they reside.

All RCs, RECs and members of a nominating committee are hereby
invited to nominate members. Nominations may be posted in the
FTSC_PUBLIC echo or in netmail/e-mail to the FTSC adminstrator.
(2:2/20, 2:280/5555 or administrator at ftsc dot org) Nominations
received by netmail or e-mail will be posted in FTSC_PUBLIC.

Nominations start at Sunday, 6 November 2011. 20:00 UTC and end at
Sunday 20 November 2011, 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.
