Re: List of volunteers for the 2021-2022 NomCom

Sorry, I am missing how it is inappropriate.  I was not commenting on the validity or honesty of the concern. I share the concern.  I presume it is honest.  I also consider I am among that vocal minority. 

My point us that we can't just decide to ignore our rules.  Even for the best of reasons.

Yours,

Joel

We can't simply change the procedures because we want to (particularly note when "we" is some vocal subset of the community.)

I think that is an innapropriate characterisation of those of us that have expressed a genuine concern at the low level of diversity in the volunteer pool.
