Dear Colleagues, I am happy to announce that the IAB appointed Nevil Brownlee as the Independent Submissions Editor (RFC5620). Nevil has recently signed an MOU with the IAOC and will be commencing his duties on February 15 of this year. During the Hiroshima plenary reports we alluded to the fact that Bob Braden would remain available to support the RFC series while the IAB and IAOC were trying to get the Transitional RFC Series Editor (T-RSE) and Independent Series Editor (ISE) filled. While I cannot yet make any announcements about the T-RSE, I am happy to clarify that Bob is providing the needed continuity until we have appointed a T-RSE and will remain available in an advisory role for the ISE and for the T-RSE once that appointment have been made. We like to thank the other candidates for stepping forward and the members of the advisory committee for their assistance during the selection process. --Olaf Kolkman IAB Chair _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
