FTA-1001 specifies that the FTSC Administrator is responsible for coordinating all membership nominations and voting. All ballots are submitted in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo, so that any/all interested parties can track the results themselves, if they so desire.
As an RC, I could have voted in the election myself. I chose not to do so, for 2 reasons:
1. My request to the sysops of my Region for input on the candidates did not receive any response. 2. To avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, especially since in some cases 1 vote could affect the results for a candidate. It should also be noted that in the entire time I have been an RC, I have abstained from voting for myself.
Any questions regarding the voters' reasoning for their choices should be addressed with those voters via NetMail.
I am certainly willing to entertain constructive suggestions on how to improve the process.
Andrew
