Finally! The moment we've all been waiting for: C A L L F O R N O M I N A T I O N S ! ! ! The 2021-22 IETF Nominating Committee (NomCom) is seeking nominations from now until Monday, October 11, 2021. The open positions and more information are found at the NomCom web site: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2021/ They are also included below for convenience. Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of the NomCom 2021 home page, or by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2021/nominate/ Self-nomination is welcome! Note: 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/ If you are unable to use the web form, nominations may instead be made by email to nomcom-2021 at ietf dot org. If using 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 are nominating someone other than yourself, please tell us if we may tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. If you wish to nominate someone via email for more than one position, please use separate emails to do so. Willing nominees will be asked to fill out a questionnaire specific to the position for which they are nominated. The finalized questionnaires will be available no later than Monday, September 6, 2021 (preliminary versions are already posted) and have a submission deadline of Monday, October 18, 2021. NomCom 2021-22 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing Nominees" described in BCP 10/RFC 8713: "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, e.g., anyone with a datatracker account may access the lists. Additionally, the nomination form asks if we may share your own name with the nominee. In all other ways, the confidentiality requirements of BCP 10 remain in effect. All feedback and all NomCom deliberations will remain confidential and will not be disclosed. There is a field on the form you can mark in order to allow the NomCom to tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. This defaults to “no” - so if you don't mark the field we won’t tell. 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 Monday, October 11, 2021. Please submit your nominations as early as possible for the sake of your nominees. Note that nominations should not wait for nominee management permission, as it is easier to decline the nomination than put one in late.

You'll find extensive information about specific positions, in individual tabs at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2021/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 nomcom-2021 at ietf dot org. Thank you for your help in identifying qualified nominees! Thanks, Gabriel Montenegro IETF NomCom Chair 2021-22 nomcom-chair-2021 at ietf dot org
