                     FTSC standing member elections, call for votes
                     ==============================================


     Voting for FTSC standing members commences on Sunday, 12 November,
     2017, 20:00 UTC.

     All RCs are entitled to vote. Each voter may cast one "yes"
     or one "no" vote for each candidate. Voters need not vote for all can-
     didates, a non vote will be regarded as "abstain" for that candidate.
     Candidates must receive more "yes" than "no" votes to be elected.

     Although not required, voters are encouraged to consult their
     constituency before casting their votes. Debate with the candidates
     is also encouraged. No need to hurry.

     Voting ends on Sunday 26 November 2017, 20:00 UTC.

     The status of RC's will be determined by nodelist.293 of this year
     by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they reside.


     This is the list of nominees.

       Candidate             Node nr.      Nmntd by    Accepted

       Dallas Hinton         1:153/715     RC17        Yes
       RJ Clay               1:120/544     RC17        Yes
       Bjorn Felten          2:203/2       RC16        Yes
       Alexey Vissarionov    2:5020/545    RC16        Yes
       Markus Reschke        2:240/1661    RC16        Yes
       Michiel van der Vlist 2:280/5555    RC16        Yes
       Torsten Bamberg       2:240/5832    RC28        Yes
       Mark Hofmann          1:261/1304    RC17        Yes
       Sean Dennis           1:18/200      RC16        Yes
       Ward Dossche          2:292/854     RC25        No


     Ward Dossche has declined and therefore does not qualify to be
     elected.

     Voters are requested to copy and paste the form below, mark a
     cross for each candidate in the "yes" or the "no" column for all
     candidates they wish to cast a vote for and post it in FTSC_PUBLIC
     addressed to "Election Coordinator with a subject of "vote".


     Once again, voters need not vote for all candidates.

     PO4   Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
           but is configured to try IPv4 first)
     6DWN  The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
     DOWN  This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
     PM    Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
           capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.


     Notes:

     To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
     one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
     node config).  If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
     (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

                           JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
     =================================================================

                 The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

     This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
     the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

     You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
     need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
     operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

     Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
     your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
     your job, school or whatever.

     =================================================================

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
        quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

                 Björn Felten
     Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0
     E-Mail      b @ felten dot se
     Skype file  bfelten

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
     That way I will know to look for it.
