Hi Spencer,

I usually leave “silly rabbit ...” lines to the ADs - they’re better at that than I am ;-).

Currently, with the exception of the IETF Chair, ADs are selected with a strong focus on specific expertise in an Area.  I was suggesting adding a few “At-Large” ADs who would be selected with a strong focus on generalist skills, and I think I saw other comments in favor of adding generalists to the IESG during discussion of the initial area merge proposal.

The At-Large ADs could serve as out-of-area ADs to spread the WG management load.  In addition, the existence of At-Large AD positions could help the NomCom; if for some Area, the preferable slate of new AD candidates and continuing ADs is missing an important chunk of expertise, perhaps one of the good At-Large AD candidates would have that expertise.

Thanks,
--David

Hi, David,

You mentioned intentionally including one or more ADs who were generalists on the IESG, during Admin Plenary open mike time last night.

I think I understood what you mean by that, because I responded to your comment and you didn't say "no, silly rabbit, what I'm saying is ..."

But could you give us a sentence or two about what you're thinking?

(I think I agree, but I'd like to make sure I'm agreeing with what you're thinking!)

Thanks,

Spencer
