the above was written by the 2nd incarnation of the FTSC as an effort to
clarify things and avoid problems like we have with FTS-1... we cannot update
or alter FTS-1 without the author's express permission and he has specifically
and *emphatically* not given that permission... apparently the document name
falls under his copyright... so a new document has to be written with a
different title AND policy 4 has to be changed to reference the new document...
until that happens, well...
