That has nothing to do with the FTSC.

Nothing has been drafted. Maybe another proposal, but can not be turned into a standard for another million years.

Again, something has to be drafted, and in this case.. can it be? Another protocol/service is being used to "gate" into Fidonet.

Based off current standards and proposals, more than likely. If anything new is made, show the FTSC so they can document it.

We basically have to support what's left, because by definition if we don't have 7? members, the FTSC is null and void.
