I think Mike did a good job in confusing the facts, and maybe the explanations from NomCom chair also do not correctly describe what IMHO happened: Luigi simply declared that he can not serve, and NomCom chair had to take the 12th hashed candidate. Where and how is the reason for declaring that one does not want to serve an aspect in changing the process for selecting the next candidate from the list ? I can't find anything about this in he rules. What if Luigi had said he can not serve without explaining his employer change ? Now, if Luigi had said he wanted to serve, and now he works for Huawei, then i guess NomCom chair would have had the freedom to decide whether to remove Tal or Luigi. But in either case this would not change that Tony would be the next one on the list. Cheers --- tte@xxxxxxxxx
