<div>I definitely agree with Jeff's comments and I definitely

I note Jeff's comments about regional diversity. I don't
think it should block invitation of Darell and Eli to join
the committee, but rather should be a reason for inviting
chairs of regional events to join the conference committee.

Yes, as Conference Chair that is exactly what I would
do, automatically invite the recent past conference
chair. Nowadays we have regional events, and yes they
too should be represented on the Conference Committee.<br>

Would it be workable to invite all past chairs to
join the conference<br>
committee?<br>
<br>
It would capture their wealth of experience and
would also align<br>
membership with the regions hosting conferences.
Inevitably some people<br>
will not want to be involved and most will either
lapse or stand down<br>
after a few years ensuring some rotation on the
committee and a limit to<br>
its size<br>

A word of advice, when I was the Conference Chair
for so long, I made<br>
sure to keep the balance of the spatial
distribution of members. For<br>
example, the current list of members has 8 based
in NorthAmerica, and<br>
8 based in Europe/Asia. This spatial aspect
becomes very important<br>
when voting.<br>
<br>
Of course, I never put this into writing, but, it
is something that I<br>
always made sure of.<br>

I would like to make a couple nominations to the
committee.<br>
<br>
I would like to nominate Darrell Fuhriman who
did an amazing job as<br>
chair of the 2014 global event in Portland 2014.<br>
<br>
I would also like to nominate Eli Adam who was
also part of the 2014<br>
Conference Committee. Eli has also shown great
interest in this<br>
committee and a clear willingness to help drive
the work of this<br>
committee forward with great attention to
detail.<br>
