The NomCom 2012-2013 Call for Volunteers is nearing its conclusion. If you are considering volunteering to participate in the 2012-2013 NomCom, please volunteer soon. Individuals willing to serve on this year's NomCom must send email to nomcom-chair@ietf.org on or before Sunday, August 5. General information on this year's NomCom (including a list of positions to be filled) can be found at: https://www.ietf.org/nomcom/2012/ I am pleased to report at this time we have 98 qualified individuals who have generously volunteer their time to serve on this year's NomCom. However, last year the volunteer pool consisted of 120 members of our community and I would hope that we can have at least as many volunteers in the pool this year. Therefore, if you are eligible to serve on this year's NomCom (i.e., you have attended 3 of the last 5 IETF meetings), please consider volunteering! The success of the NomCom process depends on randomly selecting a committee that is a representative sample of the our community. We endeavor to have a NomCom reflecting the diversity of experience and viewpoints that is our community's greatest strength. However, to achieve this goal we must have the largest possible pool of volunteers that from throughout the IETF community. If you have volunteered before 15:00 UTC on July 30, 2012 and you have not received a confirmation email from me, then an error has occurred and I would request that you resend your email. The 98 qualified individuals who have thus far volunteered are listed below. I apologize for any errors in this list, please notify me of any errors as soon as possible.

The nomcom will be collecting requirements from the community, as well as talking to candidates and obtaining feedback from community members about candidates. There will be regularly scheduled conference calls to ensure progress. Thus, being a nomcom member does require some time commitment. Please volunteer by sending an email before 11:59 pm EDT (UTC - 4 hours) August 5, 2012 as follows: To: nomcom-chair@ietf.org Subject: Nomcom 2012-13 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 3 business days stating whether or not you are qualified. If you don't receive a response, please re-send your email with the tag "RESEND:" 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 toward that goal. Thank you, Matthew Lepinski nomcom-chair@ietf.org (or mlepinski.ietf@gmail.com)
