Re: New Version Notification for draft-leiba-3777upd-eligibility-01.txt

Read section 10, 3rd paragraph of RFC3777.  

 The prior year's Chair may select a designee from a pool composed
       of the voting

volunteers of the prior year's committee and all
       prior Chairs if the Chair is unavailable.

If the prior year's
       Chair is unavailable or is unable or unwilling to make such a

designation in a timely fashion, the Chair of the current year's
       committee may select a

designee in consultation with the Internet
       Society President.

So it's actually, the prior chair (first choice), any member of the prior committee, or 

any other prior chair.

That was what I thought until I reread 3777.  It says that the
immediately previous chair serves as an advisor but also says
that the Nomcom can appoint any other advisors it feels like.  I
assume that combination is part of where "at least" came from.

But Barry's new text gets rid of that odd and possibly confusing
way of stating things and is, IMO, a considerable improvement.
