Hi Moonesamy,
(the Author of draft-moonesamy-nomcom-eligibility-00)

I think the draft still needs more details, for example, the Abstract
says to give remote contributors eligible to serve but how many
remote, it is not-reasonable/not-practical to have most remote, and it
is not fare/diverse to have all not remote. Furthermore, you did not
mention diversity in the draft related to members selected.

AB> I prefer if you refer me, or the discussion list chair can refer
me to somewhere we can discuss this new draft. Please note that I was
told not to post more discuss messages on this list, so the chair or
you are required to respond on this issue related to discussing the
draft, because this may be my last post regarding this I-D.

AB> the update may need an informational draft (or better
introduction) like what [1] is doing, so if we know the information on
process challenges we will know the best practice. I like the [1]
draft I think it needs to be renewed including remote members
possibilities.

AB> you need to define *remote contributor* in the draft. When the
authors define it then I can amend or edit. You need to mention that
most of meeting of IETF per year are in one region which makes some
from other regions to contribute remotely.

Section 2> The section is not reasonable because you changed with no
strong reasons. Why you want to change totally, I recommend to add
idea not change. As to give opportunity to additional memebrs that are
remote. These additional memebrs will have a special condition. This
way you don't change the conditions for the current procedure of
selecting f2f memebrs, and you may limit the number of remote
contributors maybe 10 % of the total memebrs.

AB> suggest in Section 2> I suggest not to update the text of the RFC
but to add new rule for selecting few remote participants.

AB> you need to add what are the remote memebrs responsibilities,
because they may be similar or different than the other memebrs.

my answers to your questions below,

You mean the draft should consider,

No we don't want things to get larger for others to eat, we want
things to get smarter for others to use, share, and develop equally.

Where are the five meetings (is it a f2f meeting?)and what kind of
contributing you are asking?

<I will send you discusses/answers offline>
I really want to focus questions related to the new draft not other
issues. Therefore, I think the draft needs to involve what was
discussed on the list (feedback). Updating this RFC procedure may need
more reasons than what was presented in the draft, I think it is nice
if you add more and change info to renew this draft for more further
discusses. Thanks.

AB
