Then I'd ask folks to consider and address Parminder's reservations and the
extent to which we could rather retain his suggestion that we work on the
same set of volunteers for setting up different nomcoms, when time is hort.
The "whenever possible" seems to imply that the 2 month rule is the

rules unless they're necessary; and if they are and we make them, then they
better be sharp with regard to their purpose and to the extent possible!
