[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nomcom

[Stephanie Perrin]

I do agree with Dorothy that this is not a popularity contest....we have 
two great candidates, and the exec cttee will have to figure out what 
the job demands and pick the better candidate in their best judgement.  
I recommend they ask Bill and Brenden, our two most recent Nomcom reps, 
to tell them the challenges of the role. It would not hurt to discuss 
exactly what we want out of Nomcom, and what kind of candidates we think 
we need for all the appointees.

cheers Stephanie
