As described in BCP 101 (RFC 4071) and BCP 113 (RFC 4333), 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 beginning in March 2008. Following the call for nominations, which ran from 28 October 2007 through 18 November 2007, the IESG contacted each person that was nominated, asking them to accept or reject the nomination by 1 December 2007. At this point, four people have indicated a willingness to serve. They are: Ole Jacobsen Henk Uijterwaal Donald Eastlake Marshall Eubanks The IESG is actively soliciting confidential comments on these people and their ability to serve on the IAOC. The IESG needs to receive these comments by 8 January 2008 in order to make a selection on or before 1 February 2007. Please send comments to chair@ietf.org. (Note that NomCom will also be selecting a person to serve on the IAOC for a two year term.) On Behalf of the IESG, Russ Housley --- Previous Related Message --- To: IETF Announcement list <ietf-announce@ietf.org> From: The IESG <iesg@ietf.org> Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:43:27 -0400 Cc: ietf@ietf.org, iesg@iesg.org Subject: Call for IAOC Nominations and Volunteers The IESG is making a call for volunteers for the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC), as described in BCP 101 (RFC 4071), following the procedures documented in BCP 113 (RFC 4333). The nominations open now, and they will close on 18 Nov 2007. In alternate years. the IESG and the IAB each select one person for a two-year IAOC term. This year, the IESG will select one person for a term beginning in the Spring of 2008. The incumbent is Kurtis Lindqvist. 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. 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. Acceptable candidates must be prepared to exercise all the duties of an IAOC member. These responsibilities 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. Acceptable candidates must be able to undertake full participation in all IAOC meetings and 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. As such, candidates do not need to be current members of the IAB or the IESG, and in fact we prefer nominations and volunteers from the rest of the community. 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 <iesg@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. The plan is to post the list of candidates on 17 Dec 2007. The IESG expects to make a decision on or before 1 Feb 2007. Note that NomCom is also selecting an IAOC member, and the goal is for the IESG selection to conclude shortly before NomCom announces their selection. On Behalf of the IESG, Russ Housley _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
