RE: Liaisons interoperation with NOMCOM members

["Bound, Jim" <Jim.Bound@hp.com>]

Donald,

If two voting nomcom members are discussing a candidate and the merits
of that candidate to be selected by that nomcom as input to IETF nomcom
process, should a Liaison participate in the discussion about that
candidate pro or con?

I emphatically believe that if the Liaison does and was not asked to
participate that is a conflict of interest?

The issue is would the simple text Brian suggested give recourse to
prevent this problem from happening.

Example.  From situtation above.  Chair of Nomcom states:  Dear,
Liaisons we are about to engage in a debate on the specific candidates
and we feel your presence here is not required for this dicussion and
would like to do this just with the voting members.

What is wrong with the above?
