I agree with you that the NOMCOM is not required by the RFC to
interview every candidate. However, we were told that one reason to
do so was that doing the cut of who we interview might actually take
more time off the calendar than actually doing every interview because
one needs a an agreed process for the cut, and it would contract the
timelines for both questionnaire responses and community feedback.
Hi Eliot -
I find the above... sorry - a specious argument. The criteria for "fail
fast" in selecting people is something that can and should be done
before you ever send out the "please volunteer" notices. Then the only
argument is whether or not some candidate meets those criteria, and the
obvious answer if there's enough of a push back on someone not
qualifying (by one or members of the nomcom voting group) is to move
them to the "we're going to interview you" queue.
But - YMMV....
Best, Mike
