For the 2017-2018 NomCom, you would have needed to check the box for registration for any of IETF 96-98 (Berlin, Seoul, and Chicago).  Your checking the box on the IETF 99 registration form will put you on the list of the 2018-2019 NomCom, assuming you are eligible.

 


Thanks. This was not what I understood when I checked the box. Maybe it should be made clearer in the future forms.
This is the question in the form:

Are you willing to volunteer for the Nomcom?

Hi all,

Regarding the list of volunteers, I had checked the box for volunteering for Nomcom when I registered for IETF 99 with payment,despite that my name is not in the list.

What makes?

Regards,

Behcet

I had planned to pull the randomness results today, but there will be a slight delay.  While the EuroMillions and Powerball results are available (nothing like the lottery for being timely), the US debt numbers are still only showing the values for July 3rd.  The July 4th US holiday may have something to do with that, although I would have expected the July 5th numbers to be up by now.

My plan for the moment is to examine the numbers tomorrow and see if the expected US debt data are available.  If so, I'll run with the published inputs.  If not, I'll have to use the latest available US debt numbers, which I will document in the randomness results announcement.  Please let me know if this plan causes any concerns.

Hi Peter -

You should pick a new date and a new set of variables, and announce rather than mixing and matching data you (we) already know with something you would pick later.  That maintains the integrity of the process by keeping human choice out of the process.  I'd probably also provide a caveat for when the data isn't available (e.g. a substitute).

Mike
