[rpd] Nomcom feedback to PDWG

Sun Jun 9 06:40:16 UTC 2019

Hi all,

In regards to the election, since time is of the essence and quite limited,
I think also that the process of discussing the policies on ground
shouldn't be disrupted and should come right after the open mic session.

Meanwhile, it is quite true that having the statistics of each nominated
candidate on how effective they've been in the community will put some at
disadvantage. Hence, since the process has come this far, I'd like to
suggest that the NOMCOM should key into it in the future for it will give
the community a fair additional knowledge of the "individual" performance
record.

Best.
