     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:
