draft-klensin-nomcom-term-00.txt

["Spencer Dawkins" <spencer at mcsr-labs.org>]

This draft (available at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-klensin-nomcom-term-00.txt)
does a reasonable job of balancing between current-generation 
leadership continuity and next-generation leadership development.

I have previously expressed the opinion that an absolute prohibition 
on four terms of continuous service would be preferable, but the 
flexibility granted to NOMCOM in this proposal is acceptable (and I 
could be wrong).

The current IETF is a better place because of several I* members who 
have returned to the community - they are providing strong technical 
leadership, without dots on badges. Honorable retirement after 
honorable service on IESG or IAB is not a bad thing.

If I read RFC 3777 correctly, we will be assembling the next NOMCOM 
very soon ("at least two months before the Third IETF"). So, I'm 
wondering...

If there is community consensus that this draft proposes something 
reasonable, would we give the draft to the incoming NOMCOM as part of 
their instructions and perform a BCP 93 process experiment?
