Re: Requirements for Open IESG Positions

Sam, Jonne,

Its important to find the right balance between getting
someone who fits exactly the current situation and getting
someone who is the best candidate in a more long term
view.

The ADs in an area need to have an excellent understanding
of the technology the area deals with. Typically, no one
covers everything that we work in an area, so you end
up wanting to have a pair that complements each other.

Having said that, when a new BOF proposal comes in,
you may learn that you suddenly need some new expertise.
We also don't know how long the other AD in the
pair continues to be in that position. Typically at least a year
(given the cycles are on alternating years), but resignations
and movements to other positions have been known to happen.
And the two ADs can change how they divide the area
between themselves. And there are different approaches
to managing an area. Generalist vs.  specialist, for instance.
And you can use experts, directorates,  etc. to help you in
topics that you are not sufficiently good expert in.

(I also thought that the SEC requirements were a bit
too specific this year.)

Jari
