The dynamics on Nomcom members (and Liaisons and Confirming Bodies) are considerably more intense than on an individual voter. d/ ps. But yeah, this is a topic ripe for humor. If only it also were not so ripe for misunderstanding and distraction. And I've already received some well-intensioned private email demonstrating how easy it is to miss the point I was trying to make. -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
