Dear Colleagues, With reference to the call for nominations [1,2] for an RFC Series Editor (RSE) and Independent Stream Editor (ISE) and the extension for the of the call [3], there are two two things I would like to bring to your attention. = RFC Series Editor Nominations I would like to inform you that at the close of the extended nomination period we received 4 nominations: - Shreedeep Rayamajhi - Paul Hoffman - David E. Martin - Ole Jacobsen The IAB invites community feedback on these candidates, specifically in relation to the how the expertise and profile of the candidates maps to the function as described in http://iaoc.ietf.org/rfced-procurement.html and http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-rfc-editor-model Please send your feedback to the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee (ACEF) <acef@iab.org> by August 23, 2009. Your feedback will be shared with the members (see [4]) of the ACEF and, at a later stage, with the IAB. We understand there may be potential candidates that are still contemplating their nomination. Therefore, and without reflection on the current candidates, we will continue to entertain nominations for the RSE position for a short time. = Independent Series Editor Nominations and selection process After consulting with the ACEF (who assist the IAB in the selection of candidates) the IAB has decided that we will first work through the RSE candidates and then proceed with assessment of the ISE candidates. Nominations for the ISE are still welcome during the period in which the ACEF is formulating its advice on the RSE appointment. Please refer to [2] for the exact nomination procedure. The timeline for the selection of the RSE remains as published in our extensions for the call[2] while the timeline for the selection and appointment of the ISE will shift a little more than a month. This may mean that there is little or no overlapping time for transition of the ISE. While this is not the optimum situation, the IAB and the ACEF believe that there will not be significant problems by shifting the timescale and thereby potentially not having an overlap. Modified ISE timeline: 1st week of October - ISE Nominees announced; community input solicited mid-October - Community input ends mid-October through end October - IAB appointed Advisory Committee conducts interviews begin November - Advisory Committee recommends individuals to IAB for ISE position mid November - IAB appoints ISE end Nov - Agreement Executed with IAD for expenses and transition begins 1 Jan - Appointments take effect With kind regards, --Olaf Kolkman IAB chair.
