Technical Summary
This document describes the operation of the IETF NomCom.
This version updates the rules by which the Nomcom process is governed.
In many cases, ambiguities that had been found in 2727 were resolved.
In other cases, situations that had been left to the discretion of the
participants were codified.
Working Group Summary
On a lot of issues, there was smooth consensus in the working group.
On some issues, there was significant controversy, but rough consensus.
In one case (publication of names of nominees) consensus was not reached,
and the text remained unchanged from 2727.
Protocol Quality
The document has been reviewed for the IESG by Harald Alvestrand.
RFC Editor note:
Please change section 5 bullet 7 paragraph 7
OLD:
If a voting volunteer member is recalled, regardless of the
circumstances, the committee may choose to proceed with only 9
voting volunteers at its own discretion. In all other cases the
Chair must repeat the random selection process including an
announcement of the iteration prior to the actual selection as
stated elsewhere in this document.
NEW:
If a single voting volunteer position on the Nomcom is
vacated, regardless of the circumstances, the committee may
choose to proceed with only 9 voting volunteers at its own
discretion. In all other cases a new voting member must be
selected, and the Chair must repeat the random selection
process including an announcement of the iteration prior to
the actual selection as stated elsewhere in this document.
