I think we should strive to have a longer nomination period than two weeks if possible, to ensure that we can do proper outreach. The nomcom is rather workload heavy, so potential candidates might require some time to get proper approvals, or estimate other work commitments before they can agree to be nominated.
If it’s not possible to move the end of the nomination period, I suggest that we do not wait until 28 May to announce it, but do it as soon as possible. This to allow for as much time as possible to find and nominate good candidates.
I also suggest that we not just do one announcement but at least two, that we ensure that the announcements get distributed to all five RIR announcement mailing lists, and that the announcement is also tweeted.
Thanks,
