I don't mind Tim becoming a FTSC member. I think he could be a valued member.
I do mind you setting the precedent the rules don't matter, because you do what you want anyway, when it suits you. That's how they do things in failed countries.

That's not how it works! The elections will be invalid as a whole, because the rules weren't followed. If I where Tim I wouldn't want to be elected this way, because there always be this "bad smell" to his membership... It would be better if he would withdraw his candidacy, and run next year, when there would be plenty of time to do things the right way. It's not like there will be happening shocking things in the next year regarding the FTSC, that he would miss because of his delayed membership...
Bye, Wilfred.
