Re: NomCom eligibility & IETF 107

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

The IESG has listened to the discussion and has reconsidered.  We have
posted an Internet draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iesg-nomcom-eligibility-2020/

Murray will be the shepherding AD, and will request a four-week last
call later today, to end on 30 April, the deadline we had set for
comments.  The following week (7 May) will have an IESG telechat, and
we would expect to have the document on that telechat agenda for
approval.

The substantive bit in the document is as I described in the message below.

Barry, for the IESG
