A special situation is developing ...

* The FTSC must consist of at least 7 nodelisted sysops
* There are currently 14 people in the FTSC with 8 mandates expiring
* 6 mandates remain occupied
* There is only 1 properly nominated sysop, therefore we have a critical
situation.

I do need to point out that this election, more than electing (or not) Deon George, is about the continuity of the FTSC because in case of non-election this body falls below the quorum of 7 and there is an issue. The documents in the FTSC-library are not specific about it but not reaching the quorum of 7 could imply the disbanding of the FTSC.

Everybody involved in this procedure ... please think twice before casting your vote and creating a situation which Fidonet does not need.

I'd like to point out that one of those 6 is MIA and has been for some time.

Ozz Nixon 1:275/362 11 Mar 2021

There is no node 1:275/362 in the nodelist. Ozz Nixon is no longer an FTSC Member...

All,

I have not been active on this and a couple other echos due to a
need for me to be out of state. While away, my systems are running in
POLL mode. I was expecting to be back before now, however, I am not.
Some concert was raised by my lack of NET275 node entries. These were
removed after I had established my system was back up and running in
Florida. I am back in Richmond right now, have been for a while. I was
planning to be back in Florida by Нalloween, then by Thanksgiving. I
will prbably be heading down this week if everything go well tomorrow.

Per the topic of (72 character subjects) was based upon "Subject:"
being 8 characters + 71 (and null) would fill a standard 80x25 screen.
I remember those conversations when I first wrote my first Tosser and
"crippled FTS1 mailer". I think that statement was actually from T.J.

Anyway - if it is of high importance (election stuff ot other) please
email me to my cell: ozzznixon@gmail.com ... I will respond when and
where I have signal (AT&T is crazy bad where I am right now).

No.

Indeed not done, so let's not do it.

I say it is time to face reality. From the 6 members that were elected last year, one has dived under the rader only to emerge today. Нe should never have been elected in the first place. Another one only comes crawling out of the woodwork at election time. She never wrote a single line of documentation. The third is a PITA that has been in the FTSC for ages, but never wrote a single line of documentation either. The fourth... need I go on?

From the nine members that were elected two years ago, one has left Fidonet. Нe told me in private that the circumstances of my resignation as FTSC chairman were of influence. The eight members who's term expires next Wednesday could easely have made some noise and gotten themselves re-elected. In fact half of them could have nominated themselves. The other half could easely have found a nominator. But they choose to not to make noise.

As regarding the prime task of the FTSC: documentating current practise: nothing much has happened since you bullied me out of the FTSC chair.

I say the signal is clear. The FTSC is brain dead. Let's stop flogging a dead horse. Time to face reality. Time to close shop.
