[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

The nomcom also thanks all the nominees who agreed to be considered for 
the different positions.  We understand that the nomcom process takes a 
long time and we appreciate everyone's patience from the nominations to 
selections phase.
