Re: another approach to the nomcom problem?

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no>]

I'd rather do this by asking for resignations after the nomcom has been 
selected.

If (for instance) 5 of the Cisco people withdraw, and random chance picks 3 
Nokia people and no Cisco people, the request will be seen as having 
unfairly favoured Nokia.

However, if 3 Cisco and 3 Nokia people get selected, there's an opportunity 
for an informal consensus to form that says 2 of each is better for the 
Internet.
