Ärende: 2010 FTSC election, call for nominations
================================================
Hello RC's,

An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday 31 of October 2010 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 17 members, 9 of them had their term expire this
year. That leaves room for a maximum of 30-(17-9)=22 new members to be 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.

In accordance with FTA-1001 3.2.2, I hereby appoint a nominating committee that
consists of the FTSC members who's term ended this year and who have indicated
to be available for another term.

These are:

Fred Riccio            1:132/174
Alexey Vissarionov     2:5020/545
Carol Shenkenberger    1:275/100
Stas Degteff           2:5080/102
Vince Coen             2:250/1
Dieter Ringhofer       2:2476/14
mark lewis             1:3634/12


The status of RC's and REC's will be determined by nodelist.304 for Z2 and for
the other zones by nodelist.302 as issued by the ZC in the zone where they
reside.

All RCs, RECs and members of the 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, 31 October 2010. 20:00 UTC and end at Sunday 14
November 2010, 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. Members of the FTSC
appointed nominating committee may self nominate,

Michiel van der Vlist
FTSC Administrator
