Members of the community are encouraged to contact the nomcom confidentially 1) to nominate someone for any of these positions (please provide the email address of any nominee), 2) to provide input relating to potential candidates, or 3) to provide comments regarding the past performance of incumbents. All of this information will be considered during the deliberations of the nominating committee and will be held in confidence by the nominating committee. We emphasize that comments sent to the nominations committee will be kept in confidence. As noted in RFC 2727 "all deliberations and supporting information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed candidates are confidential." Self-nominations are accepted. The deadline for nominations is midnight Friday, November 22, 2002. Early input is desirable so that candidates may be interviewed during the Atlanta IETF meeting. The members of the NomCom can be contacted individually at the addresses below or collectively at nomcom@ietf.org. Additionally, the members of the NomCom will be identified at the IETF by a small orange dot on their name tags. People are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to the members of the NomCom about nominations and other issues related to the IAB and IESG membership.
