The 2012-2013 IETF Nominating Committee (Nomcom) requests your urgent assistance. The Nomcom is seeking nominations for the position of Transport Area Director, to broaden our pool of candidates. Please nominate individuals for this position by sending email to nomcom12@ietf.org, or use the Nomcom web tool: https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/nominate/ The nominating committee will accept nominations until Tuesday, February 5, although as time is short the committee sending nominations sooner would be very helpful. As always, the Nomcom welcomes self- nominations. The Nomcom also wishes to express our most sincere gratitude to the three existing nominees for their willingness to serve as Transport AD: Ken Carlberg, Linda Dunbar, and Tom Haynes. Requirements for IESG positions can be found at: https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/iesg-requirements The Nomcom encourages you to nominate anyone that you believe would do an excellent job as Transport Area Director. In particular, the Nomcom has received feedback that working group chair or area directorate experience is very valuable for this position; as are technical skills to complement the technical expertise of Martin Stiemerling (Transport co-AD). Thank you all for your help in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. - Matt Lepinski On behalf of Nomcom 2012 nomcom-chair@ietf.org
