I started some thoughts on a revision that codifies Guest Members. It used to
be there very long ago but went away. Looks like it belongs in FTA-1000.2
(will be FTA-1000.3 on release if so).
2.6 Guest Members
---------
Guest members are invited either temporarily for expertise in a specific area
or for wide ranging knowledge of zone operations. All sitting ZCs are
automatically guest members. The IC position, when filled, is automatically a
guest member. Guest members may be removed at need with a simple majority vote
of the membership. The FTSC administrator is to assist all new guest members
with obtaining a suitable feed to the FTSC echo.
