Re: Possible extra "oral tradition" for draft-ietf-nomcom-rfc2727bis-01.txt

[Matt Holdrege <matt.holdrege@verizon.net>]

Oral tradition somehow implies someone giving advice to others. Advice is 
always good. But the nomcom can choose to listen or ignore such advice. 
This debate seems to reflect the opinion of others that the nomcom *needs* 
their advice. Everyone wants to push the nomcom to their favorite 
direction. Nothing we do in this effort will change that. In the end the 
nomcom will choose who they see fit no matter what official or unofficial 
direction they get.

So I don't see any point in changing things. The abuses of the system, if 
there are any, are human nature and we can't change that. The nomcom will 
talk to whomever they wish to talk to. You can't change that. If we choose 
to officially publish everything, how does that help?
