To the IETF Community, One of the roles of the Internet Society (ISOC) President is to appoint the IETF Nominations Committee chair. This is done through consultation with members of the IETF community, as well as input from past IETF NomCom Chairs. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Michael Richardson has agreed to serve as the 2014 - 2015 IETF Nominations Committee chair. Michael was routing area WG co-Chair in 2012 and currently serves as design team lead for the 6tisch security architecture. Michael brings substantial NomCom experience having served on 3 previous NomComs. The NomCom process is critical to the health and success of the IETF and it’s important that it have robust support from the community. A Call for Nominations for this committee will be sent shortly to the IETF Announcement list; and a list of IESG, IAB and IAOC/IETF Trust seats to be filled will also be published. Please consider volunteering for the Nominations Committee as well as send candidate recommendations for the open positions to Michael, who will share them with the committee when seated. Thanks again to everyone for their support and special thanks to Michael for agreeing to take on this important responsibility. Michael can be reached at <mcr+IETF@sandelman.ca>.
