Given that the number of nominees is unbounded, requiring the nomcom to interview them all is absurd. Many years ago, when I was nomcom Chair, apparently due to some notice of the call for nominations appearing on some non-IETF mailing lists, as I recall we got about 40 nominations just for IAB many of which had absolutely no background in or connection with the IETF. We did not interview them all. Thanks, Donald =============================== Donald E.

I certainly think it's the right thing to do and it was the model followed by the Nomcom I chaired. But, I was not interviewed at least one of the times I was nominated in early 2000s. > > Mary > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2025 at 8:46 PM Pete Resnick <resnick=40episteme.net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 21 Mar 2025, at 7:48, Dean Bogdanovic wrote: >> >> > At IETF, the NomCom is required to interview every nominee, which is >> > highly time-consuming. >> >> That does not appear to be true.
