Hello Terry!
Historically, the FTSC has not done so. Any documents published by the FTSC are posted on the ftsc.org website, as well as being hatched in
the FTSC fileecho.
If the FidoNet community feels that such a report would be useful, I'm sure that we can come up with something going forward.
Why? There was an excellent tradition to appoint it from the FTSC
members who had their term expired, and they were the only people who
were permitted to nominate themselves, as both RCs and ZCs _must_
_not_ (as in FTA-1006) be FTSC members.
and to my knowledge, neither has the ZCC.
They already have advisory voice as invited guests.
Therefore, anyone interested in serving on the FTSC should
solicit a nomination from an RC.
I suspect this would leave some good candidates out-of-board. And
instead pull in some real idiots (as F73 in ICD) without any option to vote them out.
Alas, we (FTSC) have almost nothing to be really proud of. In the
recent 10 months we have only 230 messages in a private FTSC echoarea, which definitely are not to be called a "hot discussion" - that's
normal _daily_ traffic for a really used echoarea.

It shouldn't as long as the RCs are awake.
I know that our own RC here in R17 is awake and always asks the nodes
in R17 for their thoughts and opinions. I'm not so sure about the situation in other regions.
At the moment in R33 we are only 3 nodes (the fourth node answers to
binkd calls but it's abandoned to itself so I have to prune it)
and I think that none of u have the willing to candidate, but this
is a good hint, I'll ask to my sysops f someone would like to
apply. :)

supported all candidates that were nominated.
More often than not, expiring members end up being nominated
again, just because they have been willing to serve in the past.
Candidates are nominated in some cases for no reason other than
to ensure that group <whatever> is represented.
And this produces the most destructive effect of populating the FTSC
with mentally retarded^W^W ignoramii (is this the correct plural form
for the "ignoramus"?) instead of technical experts.

Nice coincidence: it was last used in 2010, when you were first
elected.

Yes - mostly because they (in majority) don't really care.

We don't need disabled lesbian niggers or other "groups" here - we
need technical experts who are able to collect, process and document
the common technical practices.

I don't know what goes on in the FTSC.
Is this really an issue within the FTSC, that causes disastrous effects?
At the moment in R33 we are only 3 nodes (the fourth node answers

it)
That node may be busy with stuff (life can be that way) but it sounds
like it is up and running. Maybe that node will wake up one day.
If you can find a willing candidate in your region we would like to
hear about it.. :)
I wish you and all the R33 nodes good wishes.
This is a long story, that node is the node of the former RC, with whom
I and the present ZC had troubles in the past.
Let me say that the node still present itself as 2:33/0 in the binkd sessions. :(

Hi Al, simple question and simple answer. No, it's not a problem that
the members vary with what they are experienced at. In fact, it's has turned out to be a strength over all. It seems no matter what came up over the decades I've been there, someone had some level of knowledge to address it. Often several had it.
That pertains today as well. Alexey speaks for example to areas not in
my expertise area for the most part. He has 2-3 others whoever who can match and work out things. Mark and I often speak to nodelist issues
with me adding bits on interzonal issues of potential changes. If a SQL problem comes up, I'm probably primary source there (SQL/PSQL/TSQL/SQL+/and Oracle BI). With Dallas, we even add Russian translation (grin).
So, a lot of words to say: No, it's not a problem.
Hi Deon, Could you tell me a bit about yourself? I see it's a little tooearly for nominations but that doesn't mean some others if they knew more about you, from recommending you to our RC's with a
background on why.
As an example, I'm bringing back "videotex", but with ANSI, interBBS
capable, so that a "network of BBSes" can be logically one large BBS,
but still have its own personalisaiton on a part of it.
Can I quote you on the matters of your videotex project in theFUTURE4FIDO echo? It sounds very interesting.
Also, ..please drop by FUTURE4FIDO and feel free to provide more newsabout your project. It would be a perfect fit.
You can see it in action on my BBS telnet:
//alterant.leenooks.net - you'll notice I'm running Synchronet,
and when you get the option change the shell to Ansitex....????
