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

Hi, Pete,

Obviously we can't change 3777 for this NomCom. However, there is
nothing in 3777 or elsewhere that *requires* any nominee to keep
their own nomination confidential. So, I'd like to encourage nominees
to be public. Here's what I have in mind: If you've been nominated,
post a simple message to the IETF list of the following form:

"My name was submitted to the NomCom for the position of <Foobar AD>,
and I've told the NomCom I'm willing to be considered. Of course,
this is no guarantee that if I get selected, I'd still be able to
serve. Please send them whatever positive or negative feedback you
have."

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

Thoughts on this?

Obviously, I have lots of thoughts on NomCom, but on this specific 
suggestion, I can only say that I would respond to these postings for anyone 
I was remotely equipped to provide feedback for.

And that's probably one reasonable measure of good idea/bad idea - whether 
people will respond.

Thanks,

Spencer
