I disagree.  The condition under which i took on this task where that  
a sufficient number of people volunteered.  I thought this was  
important because:

a. if enough are willing to volunteer it gives it legitimacy - i.e  
that enough people on the IGC were willing to take a chance of either  
having a bit too much work for 2 weeks or were willing to take a  
chance at not being eligible for the IGF MAG candidate list  by  
virtue of having been chosen to serve on the nomcom

b. unless there are at least 5 possibilities for each pick the  
chances of anyone getting picked are too great. and it makes  
volunteering for the nomcom and being disqualified from selection by  
the nomcom for the MAG almost the same thing.  This is not the result  
we need.

In any case, I think it is important for the legitimacy of it all for  
me to stick to my original proposal which is the one I think got the  
consensus of the IGC.  I will not chair it if we do not have enough  
people according to the original proposal.  I do not think this  
precipitous since that was integral to my original proposal.  And I  
am not willing to change the original conditions under which I got  
IGC consensus.

But, the good news, there is still time to volunteer and to recruit  
volunteers.  I now have 17 volunteers, though I have had to remove at  
least one name from the volunteer list due to the latest conundrum  
and because it was felt that I had not been clear enough about the  
condition of being excluded from the IGC MAG candidate list if  
selected for the nomcom.  Let me be clear:

  - if you volunteer for the noncom
  - and if we get the minimum threshold of 25 people
  - and if you are subsequently chosen by the random process

  - then, and only then, you are disqualified from the IGC MAG  
candidate list
