Hi Rich,

There is a mailing list to discuss [1] about NomCom.

Is being selected as Area Director about winning?  The persons whom 
you are running against are the persons with whom you will have to 
work with over the next few years.  They may have expertise which 
complement yours.

What is the probability of having diversity from a pool of 
attendees?  Although the selection of the pool is random, that does 
not encourage diversity.  I suggest going over the results from 
several years ago and to see what prompted a change over the last few years.

The IESG already has a liaison on NomCom.  What good would it do for 
the IETF Chair to appoint one or more persons to NomCom?

I'll comment about some of your responses to the questions.  Will 
there be a conflict of interest if you are actively involved in 
OpenSSL?  How will you manage that?

What's your opinion about allow "peeking" into TLS? :-)

Should a Security Area Director be a "SecDir" reviewer or should 
he/she be there to provide guidance?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
