Issue: Transition rules?

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

because of the timing stuff, this has gone from a non-issue to perhaps an 
issue......

the current nomcom doc says nothing about when it takes effect, or what 
that effect is on a currently seated nomcom.

I think one sensible procedure would be that it takes effect the moment the 
ISOC Board accepts a motion to observe that this is current IETF procedure 
(or some other convoluted wording), and that a sitting nomcom switch to 
using the rules as far as possible, but does not change decisions taken in 
the past (for instance, the change in selection rules would not force a 
current nomcom member to resign, but the sitting nomcom would be expected 
to use the new rules when communicating with the confirming bodies).

1) Does that make sense?
2) Should the document say so?

Of course, an alternate is that the rules take effect when the IESG has 
approved the document. Thoughts?
