I've been on 3 Nomcoms. Voting members with experience are typically notable, but those without have yet to show anything I'd call "deference" or "intimidation". On the average, IETF participants are each and all rather independent-minded and painfully unintimidated by folks with extensive experience.

During a discussion among members, being able to cite experience when offering an opinion helps, but I haven't seen anything that looked like inherently preferential position because a member has more experience. Decisions still require making a good case for a position.

I'll be the IAB's liaison to NomCom this year, but I haven't served on a NomCom previously. You're addressing a concern I had (and I don't think I was the only one) about part of the committee deferring to more experienced participants.

I hadn't heard anyone saying "not a problem in my experience" previously. Good to know.

Thank you.

Spencer
