The IETF nominating committee process for 2009-10 has begun. The IETF nominating committee appoints folks to fill the open slots on the IAOC, the IAB, and the IESG. The 10 nominating committee members are selected randomly from a pool of volunteers. The more volunteers, the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF population. The details of the operation of the nomcom can be found in RFC 3777. Volunteers must have attended 3 of the past 5 IETF meetings - per RFC 3777, that is 3 of the past 5 meetings as of the time this announcement goes out to start the solicitation. If you qualify, and are willing to forgo appointment to any of the positions for which the nominating committee is responsible, please volunteer. The list of people and posts whose terms end with the March 2010 IETF meeting, and thus the positions for which the nominating committee is responsible, are as follows: IAOC: Marshall Eubanks IAB: Andrew Malis Gonzalo Camarillo Gregory Lebovitz Stuart Cheshire David Oran Olaf Kolkman IESG: Lisa Dusseault (Applications) Jari Arkko (Internet) Dan Romascanu (Operations & Management) Cullen Jennings (RAI) Ross Callon (Routing) Pasi Eronen (Security) Magnus Westerlund (Transport) The primary activity for this nomcom will begin just prior to IETF-75 in Stockholm and should be completed in early January 2010. The nomcom will be collecting requirements from the community, as well as talking to candidates and to community members about candidates. There will be weekly conference calls to ensure progress. Thus, being a nomcom member does require some time commitment. Please volunteer by sending an email before 5:00 pm CDT July 3, 2009 as follows: To: mary.barnes@nortel.com Subject: Nomcom 2009-10 Volunteer Please include the following information in the body: <Your Full Name> // As you enter in the IETF Registration Form, // First/Given name followed by Last/Family Name <Current Primary Affiliation> // typically what goes in the Company field // in the IETF Registration Form [<all email addresses used to Register for the past 5 IETF meetings>] <Preferred email address> // <Telephone number> // For confirmation if selected Please expect an email response from me within 1-3 days stating whether or not you are qualified. If you don't receive a response, please re-send your email with the tag "Duplicate:" added to the subject line. If you are not yet sure you would like to volunteer, please consider that nomcom members play a very important role in shaping the leadership of the IETF. Ensuring the leadership of the IETF is fair and balanced and comprised of those who can lead the IETF in the right direction is an important responsibility that rests on the IETF participants at large. Volunteering for the nomcom is a good way of contributing in that direction. I will be publishing a more detailed target timetable, as well as details of the randomness seeds to be used for the RFC 3797 selection process within the next couple weeks. Thank you, Mary H.
