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
The nomcom pool is in my view very much at the low water mark So an extension to Ralph's idea would be for the Secretatiat to send a direct mail to all those who are eligable to say that they are eligable for this important task and invite them to volunteer by clicking a hyperlink in the mail. The mail should probably include a note from the Nomcom chair etc. - Stewart _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
