You may have good intentions but this reads more like a salespitch completely out of touch with Fido today... the FTSC does not invent or enforce any standards, it only documents them.
In past years some people have ran for the position of FTSC with the idea of playing politician or trotting out new ideas without any code or something tangible to back up the boasting. Often what happens is RC's will nominate individuals with zero technical skill and zero contributions to any Fido project or software; but their well-known name is enough to get the vote.
With no real Fido innovation since BinkD and most developers of current software long gone... the FTSC discussions are largely just about fixing grammar in existing documents. That requires "some" technical skill but mostly to rewrite things in ways where something is not open to interpretation.
It could be fairly argued that at this point in time, the docs should be on Github or Sourceforge with controlled access to any proposed changes.
