FTSC standing member elections, call for votes
==============================================


Voting for FTSC standing members commences on Sunday, 27 November,
2016, 20:00 UTC.

All RCs are entitled to vote. Each voter may cast one "yes"
or one "no" vote for each candidate. Voters need not vote for all can-
didates, a non vote will be regarded as "abstain" for that candidate. Candidates must receive more "yes" than "no" votes to be elected.

Although not required, voters are encouraged to consult their
constituency before casting their votes. Debate with the candidates
is also encouraged. No need to hurry.

Voting ends on Sunday 11 December 2016, 20:00 UTC.

The status of RC's will be determined by nodelist.332 for Zones that
issue a daily nodelist. For other zones by nodelist.330. In both cases
by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they are listed.


This is the list of nominees.

Name Node nr. Nmntd by Accepted

Carol Shenkenberger 1:275/100 RC17 Yes
Andrew Leary 1:320/119 RC20 Yes
mark lewis 1:3634/12 RC20 Yes
Ivan Agarkov 2:5020/848 RC24 Declined
Stas Degteff 2:5080/102 RC24 No response
Fred Riccio 1:132/174 RC24 Declined
Nicholas Boel 1:154/10 RC28 Yes
Richard Menedetter 2:310/31 RC24 Yes



Fred Riccio and Ivan Agarkov have declined and Stas Degtef has
has failed to accept the nomination before 27 Nov 20:00 UTC and
therefore they do not qualify to be elected.

Voters are requested to copy and paste the form below, mark a
cross for each candidate in the "yes" or the "no" column for all
candidates they wish to cast a vote for and post it in FTSC_PUBLIC
addressed to "Election Coordinator with a subject of "vote".


Once again, voters need not vote for all candidates.
