I completely disagree. How can having more points of view -provided
they are not vetoing 'because this doesn't interest me personally'-
possibly be a bad thing given the well seasoned folks we have and
expect to continue having on the PC? That level of specialization
might be relevant if the PC has a time management issue (clump into
SIG review groups with overlaps as needed) but until the 'not enough
talks' problem is solved I'd suggest that pigeonholing PC members
might not the best thing to do.
Here are some facts:
PC Members
Technical=11
operators: 5
dns: 1
asp: 2
cdn: 1
oth: 3
Administrative=1
Marketing=3
Educational=2
Total: 17
BTW: Aren't we only supposed to have 16?
