• Question for the nominees

    From Dennis Slagers@2:280/2060 to ALL on Thu Feb 27 14:33:38 2025

    Hello everybody!

    For the nominees

    My RC has asked feedback to get information about who we want to support as FTSC member.
    (that is an option but is not really necessary according the rules, probably that is why some RC's already cast their votes)

    As I am just a few months back into Fidonet after abandoning it at the end of 1999 ... I wonder

    Can the nominees give me information about what they are going to do the next years with their FTSC seat?
    Can existing FTSC members, who are again having a nomination give me information what they have done?

    Based on feedback I probably can make a judgement about my (internal) vote which could result in a vote from the RC (and it may not).

    Thank you in advance!

    Dennis

    Dennis,

    I would like to see a list of issues or ideas that current members have and we can discuss them.

    I feel that because of these discussions that are going on, we should first review the rules regarding nominations and voting, then move on to other rules. This seems to be sloppy and is causing tension.

    Then, move on to current document review, proposals, etc.

    Valid point, but up to know nothing is shared by the members.
    So I have no clue what is being done.

    ok

    check!

    I have been a member of the FTSC for just over 14 years now. In that time, I have participated in the review and editing of each document that came up for discussion. In October 2018, Michiel van der Vlist, the previous FTSC Administrator, resigned his position and after an election I was chosen to succeed him. Since then, I have acted as both an FTSC Standing Member and the FTSC Administrator.

    My goals for the next year are:

    1. Complete the review of the current backlog of FidoNet Standards Proposals. There are a couple which are nearly complete, a few that are incomplete, and 2 which are simply placeholders with no meaningful content as of yet.

    2. Update the FTSC file listings.

    3. Work with the webmaster of the ftsc.org website to enable secure https:// access.

    Hope this helps,

    Andrew

    Good idea! But if after the election other members remain silent, are you going to take the initiative?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Wilfred,

    I will attempt to do so. I will need to look at all of the documentation to see my path. This will be an interesting adventure. lol

    In all reality, I can try to be the push to help facilitate communication.

    That's what the FTSC needs: Someone that pushes things along! ;-)
