In my long career I have yet to meet legal counsel that has ever advised that above and beyond the law is recommended. I think they get such notions surgically removed before graduating law school* But that does not mean that they won’t be careful and critical of their adherence to the spirit as well as the letter of the LLC COI policy. The nomcom selects people of good character for the positions and I believe in the body to comply with the letter and the spirit of the rules. That’s part of what nomcom is charged with doing. *To all the lawyers at the IETF please forgive my levity, it’s Friday afternoon. Glenn
