Hi, after reading your message I still don't understand the answer to
Margaret's question.

Also, I'd like to remind you that the IESg does not send requirements to
the nomcom.  According to RFC 3777 the IESG sends a set of desired
expertise.  The nomcom develops a set of required qualifications based
on these and community input.

It's not just a semantic point.  I think over the years the IESG has
started to believe that the IESG rather the community sets the job
requirements for ADs.  I'd like to ask IESG members especially to be
very careful about the terminology and to respect the process.
