Folks, The nomcom has finished the IESG member selection process and the IAB has confirmed the following individuals for a two-year term as IESG members. Lisa Dusseault, Applications Area Jari Arkko, Internet Area Dan Romascanu, Operations and Management Area Cullen Jennings, Real-time Applications and Infrastructure Area Ross Callon, Routing Area Pasi Eronen, Security Area Magnus Westerlund, Transport Area The nomcom thanks them for agreeing to serve as area directors until the first IETF meeting in 2010. The nomcom reviewed the IESG's requirements, nominees' questionnaire responses and community feedback on the nominees, and after careful deliberations, and some interviews, selected the candidates. In the security area, the IESG's posted requirements and the nomcom's understanding of the community's consensus requirements were different and our selections were according to the community's consensus requirements for the position.
