Re: criteria for nomcom participation

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

Dave,

1) do you have a specific suggestion, or are you just theorizing about the 
boundaries of the problem space?

2) the rough consensus so far seems to be that the criterion we want is 
knowledge of the IETF process, and that attending meetings is the criterion 
that we've found that is easy to manage and may have some correlation.

the purpose I saw in adding this to the oral tradition was to make it clear 
what kind of people we *want* on the nomcom (namely people who understand 
how the IETF works), even though we don't know how to select objectively on 
that criterion.
