The 2018-19 Nominating Committee (NomCom) is seeking nominations for the IETF Trust positions (three open slots) from now until November 28, 2018. NOTE: This is the call for nominations for the IETF Trust, the previous calls for LLC Board Member and IETF Chair, IESG, and IAB are following their own time frames. Background Information: The purpose of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Trust is to acquire, hold, maintain, and license certain existing and future intellectual property and other property used in connection with the administration of the IETF https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4371.txt [RFC4371]. For more information see the "Discussion of the IASA 2.0 Changes as They Relate to the IETF Trust https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-rationale-00 and Update to the Selection of Trustees for the IETF Trust https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update-00. Desired Experience: The Trust is mostly a quiet organization, and being a trustee generally involves little work beyond quarterly online meetings. Trustees ideally should be: * Familiar with copyright and trademark law. * Familiar with the RFC publication process as described in RFC 6635 and related documents. * Familiar with the Trust's copyright licenses and with RFCs 5377 and 5378. * Willing to serve multiple terms as a trustee to provide continuity of oversight. Mechanics of Nomination: Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of the NomCom 2018 home page, or by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2018/nominate/ Note: Nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org datatracker account. You can create a datatracker ietf.org account if you don't have one already by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/ If you are unable to use the web form, nominations may instead be made by email to nomcom-18 at ietf dot org. If using email, please include the word "Nominate" in the Subject and indicate in the email who is being nominated, their email address (to confirm acceptance of the nomination), and the position for which you are making the nomination. If you are nominating someone other than yourself, please tell us if we may tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. If you wish to nominate someone via email for more than one position, please use separate emails to do so. Self-nomination is welcome! Willing nominees will be asked to fill out a questionnaire specific to the position for which they are nominated. The questionnaires will have a submission deadline of December 5, 2018. NomCom 2018-19 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing Nominees" described in BCP 10/RFC 7437. As stated in RFC 7437: "The list of nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the current NomCom cycle is not confidential". Willing nominees for each position will be listed in a publicly accessible way, e.g., anyone with a datatracker account may access the lists. Additionally, the nomination form asks if we may share your own name with the nominee. In all other ways, the confidentiality requirements of BCP 10 remain in effect. All feedback and all NomCom deliberations will remain confidential and will not be disclosed. There is a field on the form you can mark in order to allow the NomCom to tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. This defaults to “no” - so if you don't mark the field we won’t tell. In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the NomCom on or before November 28, 2018. Schedule from: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2018/ The work phase for IETF Trust: * Monday, October 15, 2018: NomCom Receives Guidance * Wednesday, October 17, 2018: NomCom Call for nominations (with job descriptions and questionnaires available) * Wednesday, November 28, 2018: Deadline for nominations * Wednesday, December 5, 2018: Nominee questionnaire deadline * Wednesday, December 5, 2018: Start scheduling eInterview * Wednesday, January 16, 2019: Deadline for community feedback * Wednesday, January 16, 2019: Completed all IETF Trust eInterviews * Wednesday, February 13, 2019: The IETF Trust deliberations and the slate process completes and NomCom sends slate to confirming body.
