Folks
Some of you have asked for clarifications on the time commitments of
voting members. BCP 10 has the details of the process and the role of
the voting and non-voting members. Here are some notes for your quick
reference on how it might be in practice:
If all goes well with the selection process, the members begin their
work at the Chicago IETF meeting. The plan is for the members to attend
the Chicago and Vancouver IETF meetings to interview and/or gather
feedback and input from the community, including people in leadership
positions: WG and RG chairs, the IAOC, the IAB and the IESG. We can
address exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis, but that is
the general expectation.
The Nomcom will then spend about a month (4-5 weeks) self-organizing.
There will be 1-2 hrs per week of conference calls and BCP 10 as the
reading assignment. As with anything IETF, there will be some email
traffic too.
Subsequent to that, the candidate selection phase begins which lasts
about 4 months. During that phase there is a good amount of reading:
especially candidate statements and community feedback. There will also
be discussions and deliberations via 2 hrs per week of conference calls
and email. That's under normal operating conditions. If there are
interim openings, there will be slightly additional work.
We (the entire nomcom) can make efforts to distribute the work evenly
over that period of 5 months, so as to be as non-disruptive to our day
jobs as possible.
If you have any specific questions or requests for clarifications,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
thanks,
Lakshminath
Nomcom 2007-8 Chair
