> Not convinced yet?  Please consider that nomcom members play an important role
> in shaping the leadership of the IETF.  If you are a people person, you will
> enjoy meeting many of the active contributors to the IETF.  If you prefer
> instead to read a lot of email, well, we have that too.  Being a nomcom member
> is also an important responsibility: it requires adherence to confidentiality
> rules and some time commitment from the members.  The term begins just prior to
> the Chicago meeting and we expect most of the work to be completed by January
> 2008.  During this period, the nomcom members
>
> -- collect requirements from the community and interviews candidates
>      during the Chicago and Vancouver IETF meetings
> -- review candidates' statements and weighs community feedback
> -- participate in candidate selection deliberations (weekly conferences
> calls)
>
> Nomcom members are selected following a publicly verifiable random selection
> method specified in RFC 3797.
>
> For the nomcom to work as it should, the pool from which the volunteers are
> chosen should be as large as possible. The more people who volunteer, the better
> chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF
> population.
>
> Ensuring the leadership of the IETF is fair and balanced and comprised of those
> who can lead the IETF in the right direction is an important responsibility that
> rests on the IETF participants at large.  Volunteering for the nomcom is a good
> way of contributing in that direction.  So please volunteer!
