But why can't the rules adjust and accomdate "the times" as circumstances change? Even the contracts that we sign and UA's that we agree to have "subject to change without notice".. and that is also done for valid reasons.

Yes.. a fully fledged node is a technical thing, but is that required for the actual job? Do the rules state that the FTSC member must have a consistently nodelisted system, or is that just during the nominations/voting system. The whole thing seems a bit pedantic or anal.

Again.. so that is JUSt during the voting period?

Why can't the node enable full operations during nominations period and revert back to Pvt when suitable?
