 ZC> The ZCC decided as nominating committee upon Ward Dossche 2:292/854
 ZC> (ZC2 and current IC), and Niels Joncheere, 2:292/789 (NC292, current
 ZC> developer of the ERRFLAGS-software).

 ZC> The nominating committee got in touch with 8 potential members of the
 ZC> FTSC to sound out their willingness and availability. 2 declined, 3
 ZC> did not respond, 3 are willing to serve.

 ZC> The nominating committee, in line with its mandate, nominates the
 ZC> following individuals as Standing Members of the FTSC:

 ZC>    * Rob Swindell
 ZC>    * James Coyle
 ZC>    * Tim Schattkowsky

 ZC> Rob Swindell in the past already served a term. He is involved with
 ZC> the hugely popular "Synchronet" software which is being used by many
 ZC> sysops. I even found video of him buried in the internet ... 8-)

 ZC> James Coyle is a phenomenon in itself. He designed, developed and
 ZC> tested on his own that other piece of very popular software called
 ZC> "Mystic" which is used by literally hundreds of sysops in Fidonet and
 ZC> I don't know how many in other domains.

 ZC> Tim Schattkowsky is a long-time Fidonet participant who at some time
 ZC> "took a vacation" but rejoined a while ago and is very well known for
 ZC> his WinPoint software which is a mainstay for points all over Fidonet
 ZC> and probably beyond.

 ZC> These three gentlemen come highly recommended. They will be an asset.

 ZC> Ward Dossche & Niels Joncheere

ACK.
