[governance] Nomcom and conflict of interest

[Lee McKnight]

I support Avri that the main thing is to ensure the few rules, revised
or not, are followed to the best abilities of this all-volunteer caucus.
 For this year it's by now a UN and not caucus decision right.

You are suggesting that there should actually be two caucuses, one for 
"the real civil society" and the other for "the technical civil
society".

No, to be more precise you are suggesting that there already are two.

P.S. On Avri's remarks - I think it's not really relevant whether the 
NomCom can or cannot bar someone depending on their employer - if the 
NomCom members think that the employer is a deciding factor against 
someone, they will not pick that person anyway. So the question is, as a

caucus and as officers of the caucus, "who do we think we are".
