My opinion is that we agree we have a situation that we should improve,
but also we shouldn't focus on the nomcom process, the problem is not
about how we select people (it may help but it is not the root problem).
The problem is to bring new people (younger people, women, from more
countries, different languages, etc.) to write RFCs, to participate/be
interested in the IETF and how we involve/prepare these people to become
our leaders and not just participants. If we do that, then we will have
more diversity in our leadership.
Don't forget we also need a broader set of people willing to serve.
It's hard for many people to devote essentially full time to the
IETF. Working for a company that sees the value in sponsoring this
helps tremendously, which might be part of why employees of such
companies dominate the I*.
