This has provided a statistical basis for my conclusion on initially seeing this list. I imagine I am not alone. This Nomcom volunteer pool is insufficiently diverse. I think the chair needs to extend the time to volunteer and encourage a more diverse pool. Normally the timeline is set by a need to physically meet at the summer IETF, but that does not apply this year so there is more time to make the selection.

That suggests that due to the limits, in this selection process at least 2 or more volunteers will be selected randomly and discarded due to there already being 2 selectees from that group. > > Yours
