The IETF 2008/9 Nominating committee is reviewing the many strong nominees for the positions which require appointments this cycle. We appreciate the effort folks put in providing nominations, and very much appreciate the feedback we have received from the community to date. The nominating committee needs to know what is important to the community. We can not talk to, or even individual solicit feedback from, each of you. Confidentiality means that we can not tell you exactly who we are considering, or for what appointments. So, if you have opinions, information, perspectives, or suggestions that you believe would help the nominating committee, please let us know. This can be comments on people, on areas, on leadership in general, on IETF operations, or on issues that you think the nominating committee should be paying attention to. The best way to send feedback is by sending email to nomcom08@ietf.org The information on the positions we are appointing for, and the current incumbents, can be found at https://wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/nomcom/08/ That page also includes links to the questionnaires we asked nominees to fill out, and the job descriptions provided to the nominating committee by the various bodies to which we are appointing people. Also included there is a full list of the membership of the committee. Feel free to contact any of us if we can be of assistance. If you wish to provide anonymous feedback, send the feedback to me, or a committee member of your choosing, with a clear indication that you wish to provide anonymous feedback. The nominating committee will have a meeting room in Minneapolis, and will, I believe, have a distinctive colored dot on their badges to help you find us. Feel free to talk to us about your views, concerns, or positive information. Again, the more we know about what the community wants, the better job we can do selecting suitable people for the positions we need to fill. Yours, Joel M.
