Hi Eliot.
I agree this is a problem ... but not one that we can solve
yet. At this time the face-to-face meetings are still
essential, and one cannot evaluate candidates without good
knowledge of what an I* member's life is like at them.
Scott,
Part of the reason for the current requirements is exactly what
I think you are suggesting -- to raise the odds that Nomcom
members will actually know the candidates and have had the
opportunity to see them in action in some roles.
But also that nomcom members have some clue to what the life of an
IAB/IESG member is like. I don't see how you can possibly understand
that without seeing it all in action at a face-to-face meeting.
I think any WG chair or shepherd sees a lot of IESG work. Face-to-face
meetings can't uncover this work in full.
