Nomcom Reports

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As far as I can tell, the last official Nomcom report was from the
Nomcom I chaired (2009-2010):
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-barnes-nomcom-report-2009-00.txt

I have a general question for the community as to whether they find
such reports useful and whether we should encourage future nomcom
chairs to produce these?  While this is not listed as a requirement in
RFC 3777, I had understood as chair that this was a requirement for
the job, but again, I've not seen that carried on.  Personally, I
don't find a few .ppt charts adequate in terms of summarizing the
outcome of such an important IETF process.   The Nomcom gains a unique
insight into the operation of the IETF (and its leadership) that no
one else gets.

I will note that of the 4 issues that I raised in the report, there
are 2 that remain critical IMHO:
- Section 7.1   Diversity.  Out of the leaders across the IAOC, IAB
and IESG, there is one individual from Asia and one female (both on
the IAB).

- Section 7.3.  Expertise.  Of course, this is directly related to the
long thread of discussion underway with regards to filling the
Transport AD position - i.e., it's the exact same situation faced by
the 2009-2010 Nomcom.

The other two issues are of course, important, but didn't appear to be
such an issue for this year's Nomcom.

Regards,
Mary.
