Re: Seeking a new IAB Executive Director

It was only one opinion, not tried to generate a debate. We simply disagree,
same as some people want to have meetings only (or mainly) in US and not go
to regions where it can be cheaper and can get new participants. Just very
sad :-(

Regards,
Jordi

I've a small comment regarding the profile. I'm not thinking in any specific

The first point, keeping and editing the minutes, almost excludes the
non-native English speakers, at least, they will have a much more difficult
job if a non-native candidate is appointed for this.

Jordi, what you may be missing that IETF is (for a lack of a better
word) a meritocracy, not a democracy.  That includes finding the most
suitable person for the job, so citing issues of unfairness (to those
that may not fulfill requirements) misses the point.  If taking care
of the minutes requires some degree of English skills, that's what
should be required.
