The IESG is making a call for volunteers for the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC), as described in BCP 101 (RFC 4071) and the approved BCP draft-iab-iesg-iaoc-selection-03.txt. The IESG and the IAB each select one person for a two-year IAOC term in alternate years. This year, the IESG will select one person for a term ending in spring 2008. The incumbent is Kurtis Lindqvist, who was selected by the IESG for an initial one year term expiring in spring 2006. Candidates for these IAOC positions should have knowledge of the IETF, knowledge of contracts and financial procedures, and familiarity with the administrative support needs of the IAB, the IESG, and the IETF standards process. The candidates are also expected to be able to understand the respective roles and responsibilities of the IETF and ISOC in this activity, and be able to articulate these roles within the IETF community. The candidates will also be expected to exercise all the duties of an IAOC member, including being prepared to undertake any associated responsibilities. These include, but are not limited to, the setting of administrative support policies, oversight of the administrative operations of the IETF, and representing the interests of the IETF to the IAOC. The candidates must be able to undertake full participation in all Committee meetings and Committee activities. The IESG-selected member of the IAOC does not directly represent the IESG. The IAB and IESG selected members are accountable directly to the IETF community. Candidates do not need to be current members of the IAB or IESG, and in fact we prefer nominations and volunteers from the rest of the community. IAOC members need to attend several hours of meetings during each IETF week, including the Plenary and IAOC office hours to address questions from the community. There are regular conference calls (currently one hour per week). Several hours per week will be needed for email and document work. Extra travel is not normally required. If you are interested in one of these positions, or know of someone who may be a good fit for this position, please send the name and email address to <chair@ietf.org>. The IESG will respond with a questionnaire, asking for the candidates' qualifications and willingness to serve. The names of all people who declare themselves willing to serve will be made public on the ietf-announce@ietf.org list after the end of the solicitation period (December 23). The IESG expects to make a decision on or before February 3 (prior to the expected date at which the Nomcom will select its IAOC nominee).
