Perhaps we could avoid similar delays in generating the final list of volunteers in the future: Secretariat generates a list of eligible volunteers as early as possible (As far as I know, eligibility data is available well before call for volunteers is posted) List is used to verify volunteers when offer to volunteer is received Volunteer can contest eligibility List of volunteers is ready as soon as volunteer period closes Seems like this process would lend itself well to automation; I can imagine a web tool that accepts offers to volunteer, checks eligibility against list from the Secretariat and gives immediate feedback to ineligible volunteers. - Ralph _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
