[Pesci-discuss] Fw: Last NomCom 2005/06 Call for Volunteers

Dear Pesci,

I saw something in Pekka's note on the IETF mailing list that I haven't seen 
discussed previously.

I forwarded Pekka's note for a few reasons:

- I've been participating in an off-again, on-again discussion about IESG 
overload for a couple of years, but am concerned that even participating in 
NOMCOM may be out of reach for many IETF participants (I know how hard Pekka 
works, and HE doesn't have time for NOMCOM?)

- More to the point for Pesci, we should probably remember this e-mail when 
proposing MORE NOMCOM responsibilities - not that proposing more NOMCOMed 
positions is a bad thing, only that it comes with certain costs. Is it 
possible that PESCI recommendations might involve fewer NOMCOMed positions?

Thanks,

Spencer
