Carol Shenkenburger to stand for election as as members of the FTSC.
There is no sysop by the name of "Carol Shenkenburger" in nodelist.293.
So:
Nack.
Perhaps you meant Carol Shenkenberger? In that case I point that that
her term does not expire this year. Do you wish to nominate het anyway?
Further to the above, I also have the honor of nominating RJ Clay,
Ack.
and Mark Hoffmn.
There is no sysop by the name of "Mark Hoffmn" in nodelist.293. So:
Nack.
Perhaps you meant Mark Hofmann?

This is about he FTSC,
not about kindergarten.
Those concerned should not have to be spoonfed with information that
is publically available.
If they can not perform a task as simple as finding the information themselves, then perhaps they should just watch from the sideline.

I am not sure what is happening elsewhere, but the standard Z1 method
is to have nodes vote up to the RC (often by NC collecting a count to
the RC for their net).
It's a more fair vote than just RC's voting on their own which does
lead to a dual hat issue these days.

I don't know if it would be a job for the FTSC, but there is an idea of creating some kind of election / voting standards paper, describing proper
election / voting procedures for all the different cases. That could be simply referenced by all other documents. So R24 could say that the RC's votes for the FTSC member election will be determined by DOC-0001 paragraph 3.4, for example. And 3.4 would define how the process works.

It's also the first time the list was not added with the dates that i
have seen.

I think the first thing would be posting a list of who you are voting
for is expected.
