Wrenching this thread back to match the subject line ..... Having just gone through the nomcom process as a new addition to the IAB, I just wanted to add my two cents .... In the past I've volunteered for the nomcom lottery but was never selected, so I can't speak with authority about any previous nomcoms, but regarding THIS nomcom just past, from everything visible to me, the nomcom members took their responsibilities EXTREMELY seriously and professionally, and at no point did I ever feel like I had to worry about anything discussed between me and nomcom, either orally or in writing, being improperly disclosed. This included not only information provided by me about myself, but also comments I provided to nomcom regarding other nominees for the IESG and the IAB. Likewise, I remain completely ignorant of what other people may have said about me, and I prefer it that way. :-) Going forward, several people have proposed that the next nomcom and the confirming bodies agree at the beginning of the process as to what information will be needed for confirmation, and it should then be made explicitly clear to nominees as to what information will be used by which bodies. I highly support this proposal. Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
