OK.
- The timing says "This experiment is defined to last for one year, starting and ending with the constitution of the next NomCom after this document is approved and published." - this is neither determinate nor grammatical, I think - in particular, it starts and ends at the same time.
The NomCom is no longer constituted when it dissolves, which is what I meant by that. But I can be more explicit.
I suggest "This experiment is defined to start with the first call for volunteers after IESG approval of this document, and ends with the selection of the nomcom from that volunteer pool. Evaluation of the experiment will be done after the selection process of the formed nomcom completes."
We might be splitting hairs, but to my mind, the experiment continues beyond the seating of the NomCom, because that NomCom was formed under the terms of the experiment; so the experiment truly ends when that NomCom completes its obligations and dissolves.
Otherwise - go for it!
I'll fold the above in. Any other feedback?
