In your preamble you said "NomCom eligibility and process" and I feel that captures it better, so in the spirit of negotiation, how about... This document only affects the seating of the 2020-2021 NomCom and any rules that relate to NomCom eligibility or process before IETF 108, and does not set a precedent for the future. >> Section 1 >> OLD >> The 2020-2021 Nominating Committee (NomCom) needs to be formed >> between IETF 107 and IETF 108, and the issue of eligibility of who >> can serve on that NomCom needs clarification: a one-time >> interpretation of the eligibility rules is required for this >> particular exceptional situation, given the tight timeframe for >> seating this year's NomCom. > > NEW > The 2020-2021 Nominating Committee (NomCom) needs to be formed > between IETF 107 and IETF 108, and the issue of eligibility of who > can serve on that NomCom needs clarification: a one-time > interpretation of the eligibility rules is required for this > particular exceptional situation. That interpretation will apply > to the seating of that NomCom and to any rules that relate > to the NomCom process before IETF 108. > END Similarly: ....and to any rules that relate to NomCom eligibility before IETF 108. >> Section 3 >> OLD >> This update is an emergency interpretation of the intent of BCP 10 >> for this current exceptional situation only, and applies only to the >> 2020-2021 NomCom, which is expected to be seated prior to IETF 108. >> It will explicitly not apply to any future NomCom and does not set >> precedent: another update to BCP 10 will be necessary to address >> future eligibility, as there will be time for proper community work >> on such an update. > > NEW > This update is an emergency interpretation of the intent of BCP 10 > for this current exceptional situation only, and applies only to the > 2020-2021 NomCom, which is expected to be seated prior to IETF 108, > and to any rules that relate to the NomCom process before IETF 108. > It will explicitly not apply to any future NomCom and does not set > precedent: another update to BCP 10 will be necessary to address > future eligibility, as there will be time for proper community work > on such an update. > END And again: s/relate to the NomCom process/relate to NomCom eligibility/ Cheers, Adrian -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
