Re: NEW TOPIC: clarifying normative nomcom instructions

[Geoff Huston <gih@telstra.net>]

I personally like the idea of "good advice". There is a growing body of 
knowledge about making this process work within our culture, and many of 
this is not ruleset-based, but some good advice about the intended 
interpretation of the rules.

It may well be that good advice can achieve what rules cannot readily 
achieve: e.g.: that while there are no strict term limits, there is a view 
that movement of individuals has merit in this domain.
