> "The philosophers have analysed the IETF election process in many ways, the point is to change it" Actually, the entire process was pre-analyzed in RFC 3979, but the analysis was ignored. As RFC 3797 specifically says, the fair and unbiased method is to order the candidates using a random process of sufficient entropy, and then select the first ten to serve on the NONCOM. Should one of the 10 turn out to be ineligible or decline to serve or be disqualified for any reason, the next (11th) candidate is added to the NONCOM. As has been stated here on several ocassions, the fairness is destroyed by giving any latitude to anyone (NONCOM chair, ISOC president, etc) to influence the outcome.
