This draft (available at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-klensin-nomcom-term-00.txt)
does a reasonable job of balancing between current-generation
leadership continuity and next-generation leadership development.
I have previously expressed the opinion that an absolute prohibition
on four terms of continuous service would be preferable, but the
flexibility granted to NOMCOM in this proposal is acceptable (and I
could be wrong).
The current IETF is a better place because of several I* members who
have returned to the community - they are providing strong technical
leadership, without dots on badges. Honorable retirement after
honorable service on IESG or IAB is not a bad thing.
If I read RFC 3777 correctly, we will be assembling the next NOMCOM
very soon ("at least two months before the Third IETF"). So, I'm
wondering...
If there is community consensus that this draft proposes something
reasonable, would we give the draft to the incoming NOMCOM as part of
their instructions and perform a BCP 93 process experiment?
