Thanks for asking. Apparently I forgot to include the ietf list on my previous Announcement. <sigh> No wonder (hopefully that's the reason) I got so little feedback. https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/ann/202641/ Summary: Several people have provided comments to NomCom on topics they'd like us to keep in mind as we go through our process. But we need to get more community input on these topics to get a better sense of what the overall community thinks. We also need to know if there are other topics to consider. I've copied the text of that Announcement below, so you don't have to follow the link. It provides more about the source of the first two topics. The 3rd topic (engaging with external stakeholders) was about how the IESG should relate with non-technical forums and stakeholders that are affected by the non-technical consequences of new IETF standards, like governments and regulators. I'll ask the originator of that topic to either send more on that to the ietf list to generate discussion or for permission to include the text provided to NomCom. Thx, Barbara =========== Announcement sent last week ======= Hi IETFers, NomCom has entered a "quiet" week where nominations are now closed and feedback on nominees hasn't started (the nominees have through October 13 to accept nominations and provide questionnaire responses; NomCom opens up for nominee feedback on Oct 14). But "quiet" is boring. So I'd like to use this opportunity to encourage input on "Topics". We've received input and feedback on some broader IETF issues from some people. To get a better sense of where the community stands on these Topics (and to know if there are other Topics we should think about when interviewing nominees and selecting candidates), we need more community input. These Topics are intended to help provide NomCom with guidance and prioritization on what values and competencies the community would like to see represented in both the individual and the holistic composition of its leadership. Topics received so far are listed on https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2020/feedback/ They are: - IESG expectations of Proposed Standard - IESG and IAB as servants of the community In case you're wondering, these were taken from Brian Carpenter's open letter to NomCom (https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-carpenter-nomcom2020-letter-00.html). We also received some similar input (not from Brian) during IETF 108 NomCom office hours. There are many good ways for you to provide input to NomCom on broader (not nominee-specific) topics: 1. Discussion on the ietf email list (for those who feel comfortable doing so) 2. Go to https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2020/feedback/ , click on one of the Topics listed at the right, and enter your thoughts (an excellent mechanism for those not fully comfortable with the ietf list) 3. An email to nomcom20@xxxxxxxx (also an excellent mechanism for those not comfortable with the ietf list, and can be used to suggest new topics as well as comment on existing topics) 4. Attend our Office Hours (dates and times in November to be announced) NomCom is expected to represent the IETF community. We need your thoughtful input and feedback to do this well. Next week I'll send an announcement calling for nominee feedback.
