Based on these seeds and the list of 192 names from the email I sent on 8 July 2025 with subject: "NomCom 2025-2026 Final Announcement of Eligible Volunteers", the RFC 3797 algorithm produces the following list:
% ./pick -d -s 2025.seeds -n 2025.names -c 15

I see no conflicts on the list and have reached out to the first ten persons to confirm their willingness to serve. Andrew Campling declined for personal reasons, so I selected the next eligible volunteer, David Schinazi (in the same way when more than two candidates are from the same organisation).
I have not yet received confirmation from all selected volunteers; two confirmations are still outstanding.
So the current selected 10 NomCom 2025-2026 members are:
