I started some thoughts on a revision that codifies Guest Members.  It used to
be there very long ago but went away.   Looks like it belongs in FTA-1000.2
(will be FTA-1000.3 on release if so).

2.6 Guest Members
---------

Guest members are invited either temporarily for expertise in a specific area
or for wide ranging knowledge of zone operations.  All sitting ZCs are
automatically guest members.  The IC position, when filled, is automatically a
guest member.  Guest members may be removed at need with a simple majority vote
of the membership.  The FTSC administrator is to assist all new guest members
with obtaining a suitable feed to the FTSC echo.


(workable for a start).
