Phillip - I asked that years ago when I was part of DNSO (Feel free to jump in any time Hey- The IETF needs to admit it has a real membership and vote on things. I think the NOMCOM process is a sham and setup with some technological spin to justify its independence when the whole process needs to be done away with. For today - I'll settle for term limits - 2 or at most 3 passes through NOMCOM for life - doesn't matter what the roles are. But I also want formal plans from the parties selected and published. I want to know what it is those parties volunteering to fill those roles plan to do while their in office. By the way - the NOMCOM process is also quite biased in that eliminates people who don't attend the meetings but who may be of tremendous value to the Program. Anyone who cannot afford the global travel required is exempted from the process and based on that its pretty funny. The NOMCOM process is neither fair nor reasonable in a day and age where remote appearances are OK for most any and all meetings.

Re: Now there seems to be lack ofcommunicaiton here... I don't see any issue with NOMCON term limits. The question to ask is why is there a NOMCON at all. Why not do what every other major professional body does and hold elections with the electorate being defined in the same way that NOMCON membership is? I am not aware that this procedure has caused significant problems in the IEEE or the ABA. Those are also volunteer organizations. > -----Original Message----- > From: todd glassey [mailto:tglassey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 9:11 AM > To: Bill Fenner; ietf@xxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: NOMCOM term limits...
