As described in BCP 101 (RFC 4071) and BCP 113 (RFC 4333), the IESG and the IAB each select one person for a two-year IAOC term in alternate years. This year, the IAB will select one person for a term beginning in March 2013.
Following the extended call for nominations, which ran from 11 October 2012 through 20 November 2012, the IAB contacted each person that was nominated, asking them to accept or reject the nomination. At this point, the following people have indicated a willingness to serve. They are:
Barbara Fraser
Wesley George
Tobias Gondrom
Chris Griffiths
Bob Hinden
Samuel Weiler
Hassan Zaheer
The IAB is actively soliciting confidential comments on these people and their ability to serve on the IAOC. The IAB needs to receive these comments by 3 December 2012 in order to make a selection on or before 7 December 2012. Please send comments to iab-chair@iab.org.
Note that the NomCom will also be selecting a person to serve on the IAOC for a two year term. This process is orthogonal; the IAB is not privy to comments you might have submitted to the NomCom.
On Behalf of the IAB,
Bernard Aboba
