    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Monday, January 24, 2022 16:01:08
    All RCs and members of a nominating committee are hereby
    invited to nominate members. Nominations must be posted in the
    FTSC_PUBLIC echo.

    Nominations start at Sunday, 30 January 2022, 20:00 UTC and end at
    Sunday, 20 February 2022, 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.

    Note to candidates: The main task of the FTSC is to document current
    practise. Contrary to what the name suggests, the FTSC does not create
    standards out of the blue. Current Fidonet practise evolves and when
    it has stabilized, it may become a standard through FTSC
    documentation.

    Also, the FTSC is not an enforcement body. Those who wish to join the
    FTSC in order to "engineer Fidonet" may be in for a disappointment.
    Our main job is that of a clerk. We write the technical manual, we do
    not design the machine. To avoid disappointment, sysops interested in
    joining the FTSC are strongly advised to read the following documents:
