NomCom 2012-2013 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing Nominees" described in RFC 5680. As stated in RFC 5680: "The list of nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the current NomCom cycle is not confidential". Willing Nominees for each position will be publicly listed. With the exception of publicly listing willing nominees, the confidentiality requirements of RFC 3777 remain in effect. All feedback and NomCom deliberations will remain confidential and will not be disclosed. In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the NomCom on or before September 24, 2012. The NomCom appoints individuals to fill the open slots on the IAOC, the IAB, and the IESG.
