FTSC Election Coordinator

And - immediately - next bottom hit: self-approvement by election coordinator.

There's a reason why I suggested to have an external election

We, actual FTSC members, seem more time worrying about voting than
actually documenting current practices. I think we could do better than this.

The previous election someone even nominated himself, ACK-ed himself, accepted himself and acknowledged the self-acceptance of the self-ACK-ed self-nomination... that person was the administrator, election-coordinator, nominating RC and candidate, all in one juggling nodenumbers.

I see no harm in it.

I guess that you also see no harm in voting for self?

there have been self-nominations in the past...Correct. It has not been uncommon to just ask here 'who wants to run'
as you might recall in the 90's.
I see no harm in it. Anyone seen if Paul Quinn might be willing? Ozz Nixon might be worth investigating as well?

I'm happy to nominate any brave soul I consider suitable. OTOH, I'm double-double thinking about even voting this time around. E.g., we seem to have ended up with an administrator wanting to be a member as well.
I get that right? Is that even kosher?

Yes, I would like to contribute, and accept any nomination (Ward?
Mark?).
So this is a Pre-Acceptence to a potentially pending Nomination ;-)
I think you should run. You have a voice of sanity. I can't
nominate you as I am not an RC, but if you say you consider it, I bet
RC's start tossing your name in right away.

Grin, It's an oddity of the rules that Andrew has to run also. That
is why after thisis over, we dust off the rules and fix then up a bit. It's really silly to vote in a new coordinator one month then have to
vote thatthey are even a member the next month.
The thing is, however, people running and being elected (which is thecase
for most if not all) need to be part of the exercise and not just be lurking in the background. FTSC-membership is not an honorary title, it's a work-commitment.
I'm curious, why are you sending this from Carol's bbs, and not from your own node?
Thanks for the perspective Ward. I am not a lurker (sounds fun though), I am dedicated to the BBS community, and have been busy building my own mailers,
revisions to JAMAPI, helping other authors, etc. During this, I have
found areas that should be explained a little more detail, deprecated, or working
examples or test systems to help validate. So, to my personally, it is a honorable title - as it could help others through the documenation of
their proposals.
Thank you. You answered eloquently the question which wasn't asked yet. 8-)

No. No, no... no. I reject that notion as vehemently as Mr Peabody, the Shinbone editor, rejected the statehood convention representative nomination in Duke's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" flick.

Hey Wilfred,
Mainly as I have my mailer and BBS tore apart. I ran 2017 with GoldEd, 2018 with d'Bridge and this year I am building QuickBBS 3.0ml and PCBoard 16 - implementing JAMAPI in both. So, like last year when I switched to d;Bridge - I had to borrow Carol's system to help communicate without
of making a mess.
there have been self-nominations in the past...
Sure, it doesn't make it less inappropriate.
If you wanted to be a candidate,
all you had to do was ask me to find an RC willing to nominate you
and it would happen.
Yet another bottom hit: self-nomination.
I agree.
Until now here were only votes for self.
An even lower bottom hit IMnsHO.

the outgoing chair was a member as well as the chair... there's no rules against that in the charter... it may even be mentioned as specifically allowed...
Some more than you imagine. Also, not every echomail need a comment.and it would happen.how many RCs are on the FTSC or have been this last time around? any
of them could have but no one did... the statements of willingness had already been made...
