[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nom Com

[farzaneh badii]

The leaders of NOMCOM in the past insisted on face 2 face meetings because
they argued it helps them with choosing candidates better and they even
argue that it can lead to a better diverse choice of board members (which
is puzzling for me since they hold their meeting in DC! most diverse people
can’t even get a visa)


There are concerns that Face2Face meetings could lead to discrimination and
behind the scene advocacy for a candidate.

We asked the leaders at the time (i think it was 2018) why they wanted to
have a face to face meeting (I can look up the transcript, it was in Puerto
Rico)
