Folks,
I've put together a brief document that groups recommendations together,
according to the effort and requirements needed to implement them.
The document is at:
<http://www.bbiw.net/specifications/draft-crocker-nomcom-process-implement-00.html>
The groups are:
1. Existing Capabilities
The recommendations in this section are already available. What is needed is
more awareness and more exercise of them.
2. Ad Hoc Expert Initiative
These Recommendations can be implemented by anyone having the motivation and
knowledge. It requires no formal action and they do not require participation by
specific people, although they might be aided through participation of
individuals with particular expertise.
3. Nomcom Internal Procedures
These recommendations may be implemented by action of the Nomcom, at its own
initiative. No other formal actions are required
4. Formal IETF RFC Revision
Adoption of these recommendations requires official modification of the RFC
covering Nomcom.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Nomcom Enhancements: Improving the IETF leadership
selection process

Every year the IETF's Nominating Committee (Nomcom) reviews and
selects half of the IETF's leadership on the IESG, IAB and IAOC/
Trust. In the 18 years since the inception of the Nomcom process,
the Internet industry and the IETF have gone through many changes in
funding, participation and focus, but not in the basic formation,
structure or operation of Nomcom. This paper explores challenges
that have emerged in the conduct of Nomcom activities, particularly
due to changing IETF demographics. The paper reviews the nature,
causes and consequences of these challenges, and proposes a number of
specific changes. The changes provide better communication of Nomcom
institutional memory, enhance Nomcom membership expertise, and
produce stronger confidentiality and etiquette practices among Nomcom
participants. Some changes require formal modification to Nomcom
rules; others can be adopted immediately.
