Ärende: FTSC-Chair election
===========================
Colleagues,
 
I have been invited to administer the election of a new FTSC-chair.
 
This election will start on February 17th 2003.
 
The procedure for this election has been described in the document FTA1001
which you can retrieve on the internet via:
 
    http://ftsc.org/~yeppe/docs/fetch.php?doc=fta1001
 
and will be adhered to.
 
It means that candidates are needed. I quote from FTA1001:
 
************************* QUOTE *************************
  To be eligible for appointment, an individual must be a Fidonet
  node, be actively involved in Fidonet, though not necessarily in a
  programming context, and should have proven organizational skills. A
  candidate need not be a member of the FTSC. It is recommended that a
  successful candidate not carry any *C or *EC responsibilities during
  the term of office.
 
  A candidate for FTSC Administrator may be nominated by any Standing
  Member.
************************ UNQUOTE ************************
 
One candidacy so far has been received, Scott Little. To formally allow
everybody to exercise his/her rights to become a candidate there will be a
further nomination-period ending Mondaymorning Feb.24th at 00h01am "my time".
 
Nominations will be announced in FTSC_PUBLIC, Fidonews and other available
means on Feb.24th 2003 at 00h001am.
 
On Feb.24 2003 at 00h01 the election will start and run for 14 days until March
10th 00h01am. I quote again from FTA1001:
 
************************* QUOTE *************************
  The FTSC Administrator is appointed on the basis of a vote by all
  Standing Members who are defined by the then-current edition of
  FTA-1003 (FTSC Membership List). A successful candidate must receive
  approval by at least a plurality of votes.
 
  Publication of the nominations and the voting procedure shall take
  place openly in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo, and voting shall close three
  weeks after publication of the vote. Votes shall be by netmail
  ballot to an independent enumerator.
************************ UNQUOTE ************************
 
I will accept votes via netmail but also via email at 'wd@skynet.be' which is
my personal email-address. All votes will be checked for confirmation;
unconfirmed votes will be rejected.
 
The outcome of the election will be announced in FTSC_PUBLIC, Fidonews and
every other usefull means on March 10th 2003. There will be a period of three
weeks to enter complaints. If complaints are formulated they will be collected
by an overseer, for independant processing, whom I will appoint prior to
commencement of voting.
 
Appointment of the FTSC-administrator will then occur on March 30th 2003. This
appointment will expire on March 30th 2007.
 
Take care,
