I am pleased to report at this time we have 98 qualified individuals who have generously volunteer their time to serve on this year's NomCom.

Sorting that list by affiliation and counting the number of names from each affiliation, the volunteer list as of Monday included:

16 Huawai
15 Cisco
13 Ericsson
9 Juniper
5 ZTE
4 Nokia/Siemens (debatable; see details)
3 Alcatel-Lucent
3 BBN
3 China Mobile
3 CNNIC
2 Time Warner Cable
1 (22)
Total: 98

Observations: the top four companies on this list have contributed more than half of the NomCom volunteers. The top three have contributed twice as many (44) as all of the entities that contributed only one (22).

Opinion: the NomCom would benefit from having many "independent" members. While that could happen (yay, randomness), the odds here don't look great.

Footnote: I wasn't entirely sure which of the Nokia and Seimens entries (below) to combine. I erred on the side of combining all of them, knowing that there's likely a strong argument to be made for some other treatment. In any case, I don't think it will make much of a difference to the analysis.
