FTSC INFORMATION =================================================================

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


Voting for FTSC standing members commences on Sunday, 12 November,
2017, 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 26 November 2017, 20:00 UTC.

The status of RC's will be determined by nodelist.293 of this year
by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they reside.


This is the list of nominees.

Dallas Hinton 1:153/715 RC17 Yes

Mark Hofmann 1:261/1304 RC17 Yes
Sean Dennis 1:18/200 RC16 Yes
Ward Dossche 2:292/854 RC25 No


Ward Dossche has declined and therefore does 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.

Remarks:

f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address
IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls)
INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.


Notes:

To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.
