Someone has been kind enough to point out to me in private email
that my reading skills are deficient. :^(
Specifically, the draft says:
"
" At the end of this phase, the nomcom submits the list of returning
" candidates to the IAB as usual. The IAB makes its decision and the
" choices are announced to the community. The list of (remaining) open
" slots is then announced to the community and nominations and
" recommendations sought.
I apologize for missing this; and I would strongly recommend that
this language be removed. It would seriously lengthen the process (my
apologies to Brian for saying otherwise); and it calls for too much
omniscience on the part of the Nomcom.
A tentative decision that a _serious_ search for alternatives is
much easier and quicker to reach. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to
leave no middle ground, where the Nomcom would like to replace an AD,
but only if a reasonable alternate comes forth.
(I know some folks think we need more turnover: I think merely
having the Nomcom formally review will lead to this.)
