There are dots, and then there are dots. The one I'd like to see

the voting members at random out of a volunteer pool, with some

value in helping the community identify Nomcom members quickly during
breaks, etc.
Did you need to look for the NomCom dot to identify NomCom members? :-)
Hi, SM,
Not me, even when I don't recognize half the names of voting members,
because I "identify NomCom members" by sending a request for an
interview slot (and I'm remembering that these are 30 minutes long), so
everyone in the room when I arrive is a NomCom member ;-)
That's OK for people who can provide input on lots of people - I do -
but doesn't scale for people who just want to provide input on a couple
of people they've worked with, who are willing nominees for a
NomCom-selected position. Grabbing someone who has to listen because
they're chewing a cookie can be enough, sometimes!
