Re: [ietf-nomcom] NomCom 2023 IETF Chair/GEN AD Term Reset Proposal

Hi Martin -

It’s not so much the need for 8713 surgery as, if you move the chair
position to this year, you’ll be adding two positions to be filled this
year and subtracting one position to be filled next year - or a difference
year to year of three positions the be filled.

I haven’t taken a look at the total nominal open positions year to year,
but if we started out balanced before this year, next year will fill three
less than you will fill for this Nomcom, and the following year will be two
more than next year and every other subsequent year will be two more than
the opposite year until another reorg happens or you extend an AD term to
three years.  Giving the chair or one of the ADs a three year term will
move the difference down to 1 year to year and equalize the Nomcom
workload.
