Mike - I fundamentally and strongly disagree. In my opinoin, the Nomcom is the hiring committee; the confirming body is the oversight and sanity check body. The Nomcom is selected from the IETF as a whole to select the management for the IETF, who then serve at the pleasure of the IETF as a whole. The confirming bodies do not form a hierarchical management or hiring organization; rather, they perform a final check and review of the process. - Ralph _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
