RFC 3777 defines the Nominations and Recall Committee's (NomCom's)
operation, and includes a sample timeline for major steps in the
NomCom process that meets the minimum normative requirements for the
process.  Recent NomComs have been scheduling based on the sample
timeline, and the chairs of the last three NomComs -- Danny McPherson
(2004-2005), Ralph Droms (2005-2006), and Andrew Lange (2006-2007) --
have all reported that this timeline is very aggressive and suggested
starting earlier.  This document restructures the sample timeline,
but makes no normative process changes.  This memo provides information 
for the Internet community.
