Random selection of the voting members for this year's NomCom is now
complete. The following individuals were selected using the previously
published seeds and the algorithm from RFC 3797: (Details of random
selection can be found at the bottom of this message)
090 Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software
025 Yi (Aaron) Ding, Univ. of Helsinki
092 Teemu Savolainen, Nokia
126 Leaf Yeh, Huawei
024 Dhruv Dhody, Huawei

3777 for more information)
132 Qian (Cathy) Zhou, Huawei
002 Rajiv Asati, Cisco
I will be contacting these individuals during the coming week to confirm
that they are able and willing to serve on the NomCom. Please contact
me with any questions or concerns about the random selection process.
Any challenge to the results of the random selection must be made by
by August 19, 2012 at 17:00 EDT (UTC - 4). The final list of NomCom
members will be announced on August 19.
The seed values used for random selection were:
Canadian Lottery Lotto 649
Saturday August 11, 2012 Results:
(7 numbers including the bonus number: numbers between 1 and 49)
17 20 22 35 38 48 36

(7 numbers including the star balls: 5 numbers between 1 and 50 and 2
star balls between 1 and 11)
11 17 21 48 50 9 10
Therefore using the algorithm in RFC 3797, the input string to the MD5
hash function was:
17.20.22.35.36.38.48./90193202./55598744./9.10.11.17.21.48.50./
Resulting in the following sequence of hash values:
