Ärende: FTSC Election
=====================
Hello, Michiel.

Sunday November 07 2010 at 11:50, you wrote to me:

You're full of crap, as usual, Michiel, and so is Alexey.  Here's the FTSC
rules below that pertain to this discussion:

=== Cut ===
3. Structure
------------

  3.1 FTSC Administrator
  ----------------------

  The FTSC administrator is appointed for a four year renewable term.

  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.

[You will note, Michiel, that this is specifically speaking about the
ADMINISTRATOR, not the standing members.]

(other parts not pertaining to the discussion removed)

  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.

[Wow!  It doesn't say a damn thing about not wearing too many hats or even
wearing any hats at all!]
=== Cut ===

Now, Michiel, I know how much you hate it when facts get in the way of a good
arguement, but you try to disprove me on this one.  Those rules that you so
love to over-quote and rub in people's faces SAYS NOTHING about the standing
members "wearing too many hats".  In fact, the rules simply recommend, NOT
STATE ABSOLUTELY, that the FTSC coordinator not be a *C!

I think that you and Alexey need to brush up on your English skills and re-read
the rules a little closer.

As always, the facts repuditate your views, but that hasn't and won't ever stop
you from playing Napoleon.

Later,
Sean
