Revised Election Rules for Election Nomination Extension

1. Beginning at 0001 on 11 November 2002 at GMT -10/Hawaiian Standard
   Time I will accept nominations for the FTSC Standing Member post.
   Nominations will be closed at 2359 on 7 DEC 2002 GMT -10.

As outline in section 3.2 of FTA-1001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing members may be nominated Fidonet-wide by all of the
  following methods:

  1. Any RC or REC.
  2. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the FTSC.
  3. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the ZCC.

  A nominating committee may not consist of any current member or
  officer of the FTSC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. I will accept nominations from any RC or REC. It is not in the
   charter but as the election coordinator and being we are in a unique
   situation I will accept nominations directly from members in good
   standing. They may nominate themselves or others. The nominee will
   still have to obtain a Majority Vote

3. All Nominations and all election business will take place in the
   FTSC_Public echo any e-mail or private netmail sent to me will be
   upon receipt be forwarded to this echo. So I am warning all parties
   any attempt to subvert this election process will be brought to the
   attention of the entire Fidonet Network.

4. We will elect at a minimum 7 and at a maximum 30.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Standing members are appointed on the basis of a vote by all RCs and
RECs who are nodelisted as holding those positions at the time the
nominations are published. A successful candidate must receive approval
by a majority of votes.

Publication of the nomination and the voting procedure, and posting
of RC and REC votes, shall take place openly in the FTSC_PUBLIC
echo, and voting shall close three weeks after publication of the
vote.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Candidates will be required to confirm there nomination to run. The
   election coordinator will send netmail and echomail to each nominee
   and they will be required to confirm there nomination in the
   FTSC_Public Echo. Candidates are required to confirm they want to run
   by 10DEC02 at 2359 -10 GMT

7. Candidates nominated will be allowed to campaign and answer questions
   during the nomination period.
