I cannot speak for the nomcom, but I will note that this would be asking nomcom to take on the responsibility of appointing another area director, *after* the call-for-candidates window has closed (the deadline for suggesting a candidate for an IAB and IESG slot was the last day of the Atlanta IETF meeting). Hence, if a proposal involves additional work for the nomcom at this late date, I would strongly urge that the Phil, as this year's nomcom chair, be asked for his advice and consent before such a plan is adopted. - Ted
