Hi Eric,

I thought the process was for the previous NomCom to be coopted to 
address any

unexpected mid-term vacancies, rather than to add the burden to the 
current

NomCom.

The previous Nomcom stayed constituted until the Atlanta meeting. If 
the vacancy was announced before Atlanta, the previous Nomcom would 
have filled the position. Right now, there is only one constituted 
Nomcom and it has to fill the position.

Suresh has it right; from RFC 3777:

       The term of a nominating committee begins when its members are
       officially announced.  The term ends at the Third IETF (not three
       meetings), i.e., the IETF meeting after the next nominating
       committee's term begins.

Thanks
