I think you've just shown why we need this rule. No sane person actively wants to tbe on the nomcom. It's a lot of work, it keeps you away from the sessions in at least one full meeting (assuming we ever meet again.) People do it anyway for the benefit of the IETF. The normal reaction to learning that you are less likely to be selected because there's a lot of your co-workers on the list is great, that means it's likely I'll have to do it. The point of the selection rules is to get nomcoms that can work effectively without undue external influence, not to be something you can check off on your next bigcorp annual review. R's, John
