I checked the call for nommitantios (Sent on april 24th 2013 on the ietf-announce) and it does not describe what should be the qualifications of the candidates. I think that this enough to alienate new people (as they may think that they are not good candidates for the position because of lack of experience in the IETF, not being an RFC author, etc.) I would recommend that future announcement of kind of positions have a very clear profile of what it is expected from the candidates in IETF experience, general requirements, etc. In the end, it is like we were filling a job positions in an organization, the difference here is that we are not receiving a salary. my 20 cents. /as On 6/25/13 8:25 AM, Eggert, Lars wrote: > On Jun 25, 2013, at 7:53, Randy Bush <randy@xxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Congratulations, gentlemen. >> and they are all male > Well, all the volunteers were male, so no real surprise here. > > (And yes, I wish the volunteer pool had been more diverse.
