For what it is worth... Last year, I was the IESG liaison to NomCom and indeed I provided feedback with the tool (like mostly everyone) on some nominees (being already IESG members or potential new ones). Providing feedback is a "moral duty" for each community members IMHO. My feedback was not anonymous as I stand by my feedback and I also prefer to provide enough information to NomCom voting members to remove any potential bias of mine. -éric -----Original Message----- From: ietf <ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx> on behalf of Joel Halpern <jmh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, 27 July 2020 at 01:03 To: Brian E Carpenter <brian.e.carpenter@xxxxxxxxx>, John C Klensin <john-ietf@xxxxxxx>, Michael Richardson <mcr+ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, "STARK, BARBARA H" <bs7652@xxxxxxx> Cc: "'ietf@xxxxxxxx'" <ietf@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Follow-up from NomCom advisor discussion The policy on most nomcoms on which I have information is that liaison feedback on nominees and such should go via the tool. Whether it was anonymized or not was up to the liaison.
