Ärende: FTSC ELection In progress
=================================
It seems that the election coordinator has only received a small number of
nominations for new members of the FTSC.

If you know anyone who has the right qualifications and desire to work in the
FTSC, now is the time to act. Time is running out!



* Forwarded (from: FTSC_PUBLIC) by Goran Eriksson using timEd/2 1.10.y2k+.
* Originally from TODD COCHRANE (1:10/345) to ALL.
* Original dated: Sun Nov 10, 18:23

1. Beginning at 0001 on 11 November 2002 at GMT -10/Hawaiian Standard
   Time I will accept nominations for the FTSC Standing Member post.
   This nomination period will remain open for 10 days and nominations
   will be closed at 2359 on 20 Nov 2002 GMT -10/Hawaiian Standard Time.

As outline in section 3.2 of FTA-1001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. I will accept nominations from any RC or REC.

3. It is not in the charter but as the election coordinator and
   being we are in a unique situation I will accept nominations directly
   from members in good standing.  They may nominate themselves or
   others. The nominee will still have to obtain a Majority Vote

   a. Any objections to this additional nomination method will be
   worked out between myself and any RC or REC that objects to the
   method in this echo publicly prior to the start of the election.

4. All Nominations and all election business will take place in the
   FTSC_Public echo any e-mail or private netmail sent to me will be
   upon receipt be forwarded to this echo. So I am warning all parties
   any attempt to subvert this election process will be brought to the
   attention of the entire Fidonet Network.

5. We will elect at a minimum 7 and at a maximum 30.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Upon completion of the nomination period I will post a final
   candidate list to this echo on 21 Novemeber.

7. Candidates who have been nominated during the 10 day nomination period
   can campaign and answer questions during thenomination period.

8. Candidates must receive a majority or 50% of the vote of all RC's and
   REC's that vote Example:

            16 Total RC and REC Vote

Joe Sysop #1 8-Yes 8-No <--- Elected
Joe Sysop #2 7-Yes 9-No <--- Not Elected
Joe Sysop #3 9-yes 7-No <--- Elected
Joe Sysop #4 8-yes 2-No 6-Abstain <---Elected
Joe Sysop #5 7-yes 5-No 3-Abstain <---Not Elected

If more than 30 candidates are nominated the RC and REC will be limited
to voting (Yes) 30 times. NOTE:The RC's and REC are not obligated to
vote for 30 candidates. All candidates must receive a majority or 50%
of those RC and REC voting to be elected. Any candidate unable to obtain
a majority of 50% will not be elected.

9. Voting will commence immediately on 21 November and will continue for
2 weeks at 2359 on 5 Dec 2002 voting will be closed. Voting will be
publicly in this echo. The TO: Column will be addressed to Todd Cochrane
The SUBJECT LINE: Will have the following info Region XX RC First Last
Name or Region XX REC First Last Name

10. Voting Results will be updated throughout the voting period. Results
will remain posted for a 1 week period upon completion of the election.

11. Transition and Access to all private echo's will commence on 6 Dec
for all elected members. Some of the Major hubs carry the private echo's
many do not. So in many case peer to peer feeds will need to be
established. I can help in the transition period to insure all members
have a reliable hub to pull the private FTSC echos in case this is
needed.

12. 1/2 of the new members will receive 2 year terms and 1/2 of the
members will receive 3 year terms I will work up a fair way to
assign the term limits.
