[ietf-nomcom] While I have you all here - size of the Nomcom voting members?

[Michael StJohns <[e-mail]>]

Hi -

One of the side discussions I had with a few people was related to the 
expanding number of positions the nomcom has to fill, the expanding 
number of liaisons (who get to vote on everything but candidate, and 
participate on everything and who in quantity are approaching the number 
of voting members), and the static number of nomcom voting members (same 
since nomcom #1).

I'm wondering if increasing next year's nomcom to by some amount (to 15, 
16 and 20 were numbers discussed) might help ease the burden, and give a 
few more people opportunities to participate in selecting the future 
leadership, and deal with the occasional problems of missing in action 
voting members?  15 because it sort of matches the scaling of positions 
somewhat, 16 because its the next even number, and 20 as sort of the 
maximum I think could be easily absorbed.

That might give the chair some opportunities to delegate some of the 
tedium of getting interviews done and arms to be twisted.

This would require community consensus, but the update document would 
simply change that number and nothing else.

Thoughts?  Mike
