[rpd] Nomcom request for feedback

[Sunday Folayan]

Hi NomCOM Chair,

Good job so far, much more your efforts to correct whatever 
imperfections may exist. It is a learning process.

Just a post-mortem:

It is more important to get as many good candidates as possible, indeed 
willing volunteers, than reduce/restrict the candidates. It is also 
important to give the membership base the opportunity to select, than 
restrict their choice with one person on the slate.

The candidates could have been contacted by Telephone, and even 
Whatsapp, + "friends of friends",  considering the urgency involved. 
Email alone, is indeed not "best effort".

Moving forward:

Indeed, NOMCOM can prospect and contact those they think can serve on 
the Board and other positions, and politely ask them to be so nominated. 
Two is good but three is better.

On the co-chairs, Normally, the PDWG co-chair elections are staggered, 
so that the two chairs do not leave in the same year. This is to retain 
experience and have a smooth transition. Since the situation of having 
the two stand for election in the same year is coming up now, and the 
tenures are 1 year and 2 years, then the candidate with the highest vote 
can be considered elected for the two year term, and the next elected 
candidate will be for the 1 year term.

Thank you for all your efforts, and all the best.

Sunday.
