Hello mark,

On Friday March 21 2008 23:34, you wrote to me:

Whatever the reason, it *has* happened and it will most likely happen again.

There is no way to keep politicians out of FidoNet and so they will throw their
weight around whether you like or not.

The "not too many hats" rule was created to dampen that effect.

 MvdV>> Exactly. The *C's are the *C's and the FTSC is the FTSC.

 MvdV>> And I would prefer it to remain that way. Each have their jobs
 MvdV>> and that is best done if the FTSC remains an independant body.

Whisful thinking...

 MvdV>> Indeed, why not? The other candidates however van not vote for

 ml> i still don't see it...

That is because your desiere to oppose me overrides your desire to see the
facts as they are?

 MvdV>> As I read it, the whole procedure never foresaw this situation
 MvdV>> and simply went from the assumption that the RC's and REC's
 MvdV>> nominate and vote and the candidates get voted in or out.

 ml> no one gets voted out... they are either _selected_ or not...

I suggest you reread the section in FTA-1001 regarding standing member
elections.

Every RC or REC gets the opportunity to issue one vote for or *against* each
candicate.

 MvdV>> The list has no official status until the start of voting. So
 MvdV>> it does not matter.

 ml> sure it does... it is maintained by the process coordinator... that
 ml> gives it plenty of meaning :?

And the process coordinator says the list has no official status until the
start of voting.


Cheers, Michiel
