No.

Indeed not done, so let's not do it.

I say it is time to face reality. From the 6 members that were elected last year, one has dived under the rader only to emerge today. He should never have been elected in the first place. Another one only comes crawling out of the woodwork at election time. She never wrote a single line of documentation. The third is a PITA that has been in the FTSC for ages, but never wrote a single line of documentation either. The fourth... need I go on?
From the nine members that were elected two years ago, one has left Fidonet. He told me in private that the circumstances of my resignation as FTSC chairman were of influence. The eight members who's term expires next Wednesday could easely have made some noise and gotten themselves re-elected. In fact half of them could have nominated themselves. The other half could easely have found a nominator. But they choose to not to make noise.
As regarding the prime task of the FTSC: documentating current practise: nothing much has happened since you bullied me out of the FTSC chair.
I say the signal is clear. The FTSC is brain dead. Let's stop flogging a dead horse. Time to face reality. Time to close shop.
