To contribute: that's simple - you may write a FSP or participate in public proof-reading of some documents once they will be posted here (yes, I see that English is not your native language, but my own experience shows that sometimes non-native spea^W writers find non-trivial issues which are not mentioned by natives).
To participate: next FTSC election will be in the end of 2018, so once you'd show your involvement, any RC (including your R80C) may nominate you.

If you run large echomail distribution node, you most likely are ready. If you develop FTN software, you most likely are ready.
Some idiots do neither, but are elected for each next term for many years.
