Hi, after reading your message I still don't understand the answer to
Margaret's question.
Can you point out what is unclear?
Also, I'd like to remind you that the IESg does not send requirements to
the nomcom. According to RFC 3777 the IESG sends a set of desired
expertise. The nomcom develops a set of required qualifications based
on these and community input.
It is the 'desired expertise', you are right. Thanks for the reminder.
It's not just a semantic point. I think over the years the IESG has
started to believe that the IESG rather the community sets the job
requirements for ADs. I'd like to ask IESG members especially to be
very careful about the terminology and to respect the process.
To be honestly, it is more than appropriate to use the right
terminology, but I personally (this is **not** the opinion of the IESG)
do see it disproportionate to judge about the whole IESG, or subparts of
it, to say that the IESG is believing to be tasked to set the requirements.
The wording wasn't correct and it is good that you have pointed this out.
It is clearly that the community is the driver, no doubt about it. And
by the way that is also the reason for explicitly giving time to the
community in the Transport Area Open meeting.
Regards,
Martin
