Hi NANOG Community,
Nominations are rapidly coming to a close - September 8th is the last day to submit nominees.
Unfortunately, to follow up on my paragraph about diversity: So far, every single candidate that has completed the nomination process is a white male.
What you're describing is a very coarse form of diversity based on physical characteristics. A white man who has lived his entire life as a peasant in Ukraine may well have a very different outlook and life experience to a white man who grew up in Australia. These two white men could bring quite diverse viewpoints to any situation even though they share some superficial characteristics. I have always supported the most suitable candidates for any role, irrespective of their physical characteristics. I will always continue to do so. Rob
