Carsten, Yes, especially if those people are also defining, or even just interpreting, the objectives of the organization. > Just saying; obtaining a nice slate of candidates is not an > end in itself, it's a means to the end of achieving the > objectives of the organisation. Right. But if the Nomcom ends up with a fairly homogeneous set of candidates because, for example, people like you or me don't have the time and resources, it is probably still fine for those who are selected to "steer" and manage to the objectives of the organization. But if they define or redefine those objectives rather than facilitating community discussion and agreement about them and then implementing whatever conclusions the community reaches, then your comment may still be true, perhaps even tautologically so, but still not particularly helpful. > (I'd love to have IESG positions where I could dream of > having the time to fulfil them meaningfully, but I also think > I know why that is a dream.) best, john
