I think the biggest limiting factors for available candidates are willingness to do the job and self-assessment of winning chances: If all IETF participants with employer support would run, we would have a lot more candidates. I do think missing employer is holding back some *qualified* candidates, but i am not sure how many of them would really be available if money was no matter. > I.e., you've already winnowed the pool down to 1% just from that. > Everything else (i.e., a description of the area or expertise expected > therein) is noise, IMO. I am sure the upcoming NomCom will be happy when you explain to them how they can have a good time ignoring their job assignment and just draw straws at the end. Toerless
