No Stewart it doesn't. The leadership in the IETF needs to be washed clean
and made pure again. That will only happen when all the smoke and mirrors'
are stripped clean and the will of the proletariat actually considered
instead of what is done today.

NOMCOM and a non-electoral model are what need to go away - The IETF needs
to be a place where EVERY  VOICE is heard and counted.

The NOMCON is by design accountable to nobody. Members cannot influence
their selection in any (legitimate) way. Once appointed a NOMCON member
cannot expect to be reappointed.



However the Nomcom consists of a cross-section of the community
all of whom see the same input from the community as to the suitability
the candidates for the jobs.

The members of the Nomcom keep each other honest because for
every member of the Nomcom that has a particular partisanship
there are 9 others with a different agenda, at least 8 of whom
work for a different organization. Provided the selection pool is
sufficiently large the probability of a skewed Nomcom is small
and the process works fairly.
