Re: On being public (Was: Call for Nominees)

2008-09-13 12:13:21

I agree with Paul, especially since the APPOINTED candidates are 
completely public and posted for comments from the community. This was 
especially strange for me last year as a sitting member of the nomcom 
and a appointee-candidate for the IAOC. You could say that I helped 
choose my colleague, at least one could read it that way. The reality
is of course a little more complicated ;-)

End of message. No commentary on why you'd be wonderful (or terrible)
for the job. Just inviting people to comment.

Thoughts on this?

Excellent suggestion. In the past two days, I have had two people who 
have been active in the IETF for over five years ask when we would 
find out who was nominated. People don't understand that we won't 
ever have the full list posted. In one case, that led to the person 
seriously considering whether he should self-nominate for an AD 
position that they would not have done otherwise.

It is not clear to me that there is much value to the above kind of 
public statement for IAB members, but it would probably also be find 
for the IAOC slot.
