| Checking your affiliation, you’re associated with a company that puts up a substantial percentage (I seem to remember it was > 35% recently) of the total number of volunteers each of the last 5-7 years and which usually gets two members from that affiliation selected. Your personal chance of being selected will decrease as the company percentage of the pool increases past 20%. I don’t have my laptop handy to run the numbers, but say it was 35% last time, I would expect your personal chance to be selected to be ~4/7th of my chance as a non aligned volunteer.
Call it roughly a 23% chance to be selected once in 10 years and a 40% chance in 20 years all things being constant year to year.

NOMCOM chair is already two years, with the second year being past-chair.
I've argued for sliping it six months earlier, so next year's chair joins the
previous nomcom around October as (non-voting) "chair-elect" to learn about
process stuff.
My experience is that the past-chair role is largely moot by October.
So, we'd never want/need anyone to serve two terms in a row.
Also, I and many other chairs have gone from serving as a nomcom member (me,
two years in a row) to being chair. So I spent *4* years influencing who
would be on the I*. Very interesting is that I got to see how choices I made
came back two years later to be renewed. Gosh, I felt like a really proud
teacher or parent or something...
I would also like to see a tradition of alternating genders for nomcom-chair,
but I recognize that the ISOC president has a hard enough time as it is.
I don't think that we need to write any rules about how long, as I think that
the ISOC president can apply good judgement.
(I've been on nomcom three times as a voting member)
I have been attending IETF for 10+ years, fully registered and almost always completely attending but I have been in nomcom 0, yes zero times as a voting member, I think that the algorithm is useless at least for me. Maybe we need a mechanism to try to eliminate repeat selections somehow, my friend Don, this is for you.
