Re: [Gendispatch] [Eligibility-discuss] New Version Notification for draft-knodel-nomcom-gender-representation-00.txt

[Andrew Sullivan <[e-mail]>]

Speaking as the Internet Society president, that isn’t the only reason I am reluctant to make such a commitment. Candidly, the position is a real devil to fill because most of the people I approach or who are recommended to me decline. 

Which reminds me that it is coming time to find a new volunteer!  If you (for any value of you) would like to be considered, please let me know. If you know of someone you would like me to approach, please also let me know. This email address works for both purposes. 

Thank you!
