[Apologies that this announcement was slightly delayed by the relocation of the IETF servers last weekend.] The IESG is responsible for selecting one IETF Administrtatuve Oversight Committee (IAOC) member for a two-year term starting in March 2006, according to BCP 101 and BCP 113. A call for nominations was issued on 2005-11-30 and repeated on 2005-12-13. Two nominations were received and the nominees were announced on 2006-01-03. Comments were received from eight members of the community by the end of January. After obtaining written input from both nominees and after telephone interviews, the IESG decided to appoint Kurtis Lindqvist to this position. We would like to thank both him and Jordi Palet for being willing to serve. The IESG would like to state its concern at the small number of nominations received. We had to choose between two excellent candidates, but we would have preferred to have a wider choice. In particular, and in view of the relevant text in BCP 101, we found it unfortunate that we were forced into a binary choice between an IAB member and one member of the general community. We urge the community to nominate candidates and accept nominations in the future, in order to create a larger pool of IAOC nominees.
