3.2 FTSC Standing Members
-------------------------
To be selected as a FTSC member, an individual must be a Fidonet
node, and should be actively involved in Fidonet. Examples include
having put out a Fidonet-related product or having updated a product
in the preceding two years, or having experience as a Coordinator,
Echomail Coordinator or mail or file Hub.
I ask again, why are FidoNet Points excluded from being selected?

Membership in
the FTSC requires technical knowledge that MOST users would not have; in fact even many nodes do not possess the expertise to be an effective
FTSC member.
I ask again, why are FidoNet Points excluded from being selected?
Points are considered to be roughly equivalent to BBS users. Membership in the FTSC requires technical knowledge that MOST users would not have; in fact even many nodes do not possess the expertise to be an effective FTSC member. That is why FTA-1001 specifies nodes that are actively involved in FidoNet, having put out or updated a FidoNet-related project in the preceding 2 years, or having experience as a Coordinator, EchoMail Coordinator, or mail or file Hub.

Methinks we've had enough of Happy Amateurs,
who only yearn for the title.

Points are considered to be roughly equivalent to BBS users.That is some oversimplification that is not grounded in reality.

To getting elected requires you to be a node and make your intention
to get elected public in FTSC_PUBLIC.
Technical knowledge is nowhere mentioned in FTA-1001

FidoNet, having put out or updated a FidoNet-related project in the
preceding 2 years, or having experience as a Coordinator, EchoMail
Coordinator, or mail or file Hub.
Why wouldn't they qualify?
And why do nodes get elected that are running broken FTN software
from 20 years ago?
Why are points that are actively involved in FTN software / projects / technology excluded?
Why are points that are having experience as a coordinator, echomail coordinator, or mail or file hub are excluded?
Why should nodelist clerks just collect another head and then show no interest of achieving anything as an FTSC member?
But that doesn't matter anyway. The FTSC is still dead and the
election process is a farce.
Happy election season!
To be honest, more than a half of today's FTSC are mentally impaired.

Involved? Where?

Points aren't the Fidonet members. In general, they don't exist at all.

What if, if a point has that experience?So why that point doesn't run a node yet?
They are welcome to run a node. That's really simple, especially for really experienced people,
That's a flaw in the election process: idiots do sneak in, and nothing
can serve as a barrier for that.

Actually I look only at R50 (and friendly regions like R40, R45 and R46), but here we have a properly functioning "ladder" raising people from BBS user to point, from point to a node etc.
The FTSC is for the software developers.
But that doesn't matter anyway. The FTSC is still dead and the election
process is a farce.
