It is also reachable via your profile page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/profile/ …where you will now see a button to volunteer (taking you to the "volunteer" page above) or a message letting you know if you have already volunteered. - Of course, you can volunteer by sending me a very short 3 line email (see below). - Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far. However, we currently only have 83 volunteers. We need many more. So, please, please volunteer. -------------------------------- The IETF NomCom appoints people to fill the open slots on the IETF LLC, IETF Trust, the IAB, and the IESG. Ten voting members for the NomCom are selected in a verifiably random way from a pool of volunteers. The more volunteers, the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF population. The details of the operation of the NomCom can be found in BCP 10 (RFC 8713). RFC 3797 details the selection algorithm. Special for this year RFC 8989 (one-off update to RFC 8713 / BCP 10) tells us who is eligible to volunteer as anyone who satisfies any of the three following conditions: Path 1: The person has attended 3 out of the last 5 IETF meetings, including meetings held entirely online. For the 2021-2022 NomCom, the meetings concerned will be IETF 106, 107, 108, 109, and 110 Path 2: The person has been a Working Group Chair or Secretary within the 3 years prior to the day the first call for NomCom volunteers is sent to the community Path 3: The person has been a listed author or editor (on the front page) of at least two IETF Stream RFCs within the last 5 years prior to the day the call for NomCom volunteers is sent to the community. An Internet-Draft that has been approved by the IESG and is in the RFC Editor queue counts the same as a published RFC, with the relevant date being the date the draft was added to the RFC Editor queue. [Normative details are in RFC8989.] You can check your eligibility at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/profile/ …where you will now see a button to volunteer (taking you to the "volunteer" page above) or a message letting you know if you have already volunteered. If you qualify, please volunteer by clicking on the volunteer button. Alternatively, You can volunteer by sending me an email as explained below. However, please remember that anyone appointed to this NomCom will not be considered as a candidate for any of the positions that the 2021-2022 NomCom is responsible for filling.

Remote attendance will be supported whether or not there are in-person meetings.
