Why? There was an excellent tradition to appoint it from the FTSC members who had their term expired, and they were the only people who were permitted to nominate themselves, as both RCs and ZCs _must_ _not_ (as in FTA-1006) be FTSC members.

I suspect this would leave some good candidates out-of-board. And instead pull in some real idiots (as F73 in ICD) without any option to vote them out.
As usual.
