Re: Liaisons interoperation with NOMCOM members

[avri <avri@apocalypse.org>]

Hi Jim,

You ask if this is final.  As with any consensus call, if
lots of people jump up and claim that I got the consensus wrong,
then no, it is not final.  However, I feel we did not reach
consensus at this time and I do not believe that more discussion
at this point will get us to a consensus point.  I appreciate
that there are people who agree with you, but we seem to have
as many who do not. And as you say, an individual Nomcom is
empowered to deal with this issue should it desire to.

I have a strong pull to get this doc into WG last call and
into the IESG hands as soon as possible and so, would like to
considered the issue closed for this pass.

Thanks

a.
