Hello Jeff!

If you expect some candidate promising free lollies for everybody, you might be 
disappointed. The tasks of the FTSC are defined.

 >> So, what will you do to assist the FTSC during the next two years?

From FTA-1000:

  The Fidonet Technical Standards Committee (FTSC) is responsible for
  providing a thorough technical definition of FidoNet and its
  protocols sufficient to maintain it as a compatible electronic mail
  system, specifically by:

  1. Documenting current practice in technical standards.
  2. Encouraging new technologies in Fidonet software development.
  3. Reassessing and revising FTS documents regularly.
  4. Being publicly accessible to Fidonet sysops.
  5. Distributing Technical Standards and Proposals.
  6. Providing FTS document interpretations on software compatibility.

 >> Are there any particular documents that you think needs updating?

From FTA-1001:

  Every Fidonet Technical Standards (FTS) document shall be reviewed
  at least once every two years and revised as needed.

The tasks are listed above. But in reality nearly 2/3 of the FTSC members are 
sitting on their ears. It's hard to get things done with that overwhelming 
motivation. Vote wisely!

ciao,
Markus
