To determine whether we did, I guess.

I chaired a different subcom and wasn’t on this one so am not sure, you could ask Hartmut. I suspect they determined that members faced no problems, and shut down.  I’m not sure how this affects anyone other than the people involved.  NomCom has no role in anything than the work of the NomCom.

If they had a sub-committee on visa issues and then the result was : oh visa is beyond our control! then it is gonna affect others in the community who are working to resolve the issue! It is very careless! I received an email from another community member asking me : have you worked with these guys, what are their solutions ?

The NomCom has zero role in anything pertaining to the community’s travel arrangements.  So I am hard pressed to understand how it  not doing something that is miles outs its remit can rationally be called careless.  But your concerns have been conveyed to the Chair.

Providing enough information for the participants, helping the less experienced participants with their visa issues etc. We have received  good suggestions from some people that had visa issues in our informal working party on visas.

It’d be great to have some NCUC participants, both F2F and remote, to raise any issues they may have in mind about how the NomCom process operates, the currently open positions (applications due 20 March) and qualifications/disqualifications for these, etc.  Below is a message the NC chair sent to the registries, as background.
