The 2014-15 Nominating Committee (Nomcom) is seeking nominations from now until October 11, 2014. The open positions being considered by this year's Nomcom can be found at the end of this email and also on this year's Nomcom website: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2014/ Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of the Nomcom 2014 home page, or by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2014/nominate/ {Note that nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org datatracker account. You can create a datatracker ietf.org account if you don't have one already by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/ } Nominations may also be made by email to nomcom13@ietf.org. If use email, please include the word "Nominate" in the Subject and indicate in the email who is being nominated, their email address (to confirm acceptance of the nomination), and the position for which you are making the nomination. If you wish to nominate someone via email for more than one position, please use separate emails to do so. Self-nomination is welcome! NomCom 2014-15 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 listed in a publicly accessible way - anyone with a datatracker account may access the lists. In all other ways, the confidentiality requirements of RFC 3777/BCP10 remain in effect. All feedback and all 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 October 11, 2013. Please submit your nominations as early as possible for the sake of your nominees. Note that nominations should not wait for management permission, as it is easier to decline the nomination, than put one in late. We've set the questionnaire submission deadline for October 25, 2014. The Nomcom appoints individuals to fill the open slots on the IAOC, the IAB, and the IESG. The list of people and posts whose terms end with the March 2014 IETF meeting, and thus the positions for which this Nomcom is responsible, follows: IAOC: Randy Bush IAB: Joel Halpern Russ Housley Eliot Lear Xing Li Andrew Sullivan Dave Thaler IESG: Pete Resnick (Applications) Ted Lemon (Internet) Joel Jaeggli (Operations and Management) Richard Barnes (RAI) Adrian Farrel* (Routing) Stephen Farrell (Security) Spencer Dawkins (Transport) Jari Arkko (Gen) *- known to have decline to run again. Please be resourceful in identifying possible candidates for these positions, as developing our talent is a very crucial requirement for the IETF, and also, please consider accepting a nomination. You'll find extensive information about specific positions, developed by the IAB, IESG, and IAOC, under individual tabs at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2014/requirements/ In addition to nominations, the Nomcom seeks community input on the positions themselves. We need and welcome the community's views and input on the jobs within each organization. If you have ideas on the positions' responsibilities (more, less, different), please let us know. Please send suggestions and feedback about this to nomcom14@ietf.org. Thank you for your help in identifying qualified nominees! Michael Richardson Nomcom Chair 2014-15 nomcom-chair-2014@ietf.org, mcr+nomcom@sandelman.ca
