[ietf-nomcom] Confidentiality and information from former NomCom members

[Bernie Hoeneisen <bernie at ietf.hoeneisen.ch>]

Hi,

Reviewing the latest "openlist" reminded me of some earlier question / 
suggestion I made earlier to the ietf-nomcom list. So far I have not got any 
feedback. Probably as it was buried under some much hotter topic (in the same 
email)...


Here is comes again:

* 3rd paragraph and former NomCom members:

     "It is consistent with this rule for current nominating committee
      members who have served on prior nominating committees to advise
      the current committee on deliberations and results of the prior
      committee, as necessary and appropriate."

  As I understand this, current NomCom members who have served on prior
  NomComs are allowed to share information they have as a result of their
  membership in prior NomComs.

  - Could anybody confirm, that my understanding about this is correct?


* Suggestion for change:

  I suggest to explicitely allow any member of a former NomCom to share
  with the current NomCom any information relevant to the current NomCom.
  Such kind of information is most useful to current NomComs.

  - Any opinions on changing this as suggested?

  - How about changing this along with "openlist"?
    (Note that this part of RFC 3777 is already cited in "openlist".)


cheers,
 Bernie
