Hi all, As noted last week, the IETF nominating committee process for 2009-10 is underway. The list of people and posts whose terms end with the March 2010 IETF meeting, and thus the positions for which the nominating committee is responsible, are summarized in the initial announcement: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ann/nomcom/1936/ The IETF nominating committee appoints folks to fill the open slots on the IAOC, the IAB, and the IESG. The 10 nominating committee members are selected randomly from a pool of volunteers. The details of the operation of the nomcom can be found in RFC 3777. We've had a very good response to the initial call for volunteers, with the following individuals currently in the pool: Marc Blanchet, Viagnie John Drake, Boeing Satellite Systems Stephen Hanna, Juniper Networks Lixia Zhang, UCLA Sean Turner, IECA, Inc. Wassim Haddad, Ericsson David H. Crocker, Brandenburg InternetWorking David Meyer, Cisco/University of Oregon Kurt Zeilenga, Isode Limited Spencer Dawkins, Huawei Technologies (USA) Yi Zhao, Huawei USA Glen Zorn, Network Zen Christian Schmidt, Nokia Siemens Networks Jouni Korhonen, Nokia Siemens Networks Enrico Marocco, Telecom Italia Ingemar Johansson, Ericsson AB Christer Holmberg, LM Ericsson Theo Zourzouvillys, VoIP.co.uk Scott Brim, Cisco Bernie Hoeneisen, Swisscom Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin/NewBay Software Simon Perreault, Viagnie Teemu Savolainen, Nokia Suresh Krishnan, Ericsson David Sinicrope, Ericsson Stephen Kent, BBN Technologies Richard Barnes, BBN Technologies Pete Resnick, Qualcomm Incorporated Feng Hu, Huawei Salvatore Loreto, Ericsson Jan Melen, Ericsson Mehmet Ersue, Nokia Siemens Networks Yakov Rekhter, Juniper Networks Conny Jorgen Larsson, Ericsson AB Joe Abley, ICANN Shane Kerr, ISC If you have volunteered and are not on the above list or have not heard from me otherwise, please contact me ASAP. However, we still need more volunteers - the more volunteers, the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF population. And, while you have until July 3rd to volunteer, volunteering early really improves the efficiency of the administrative process and ensures that we can quickly make the selection after the deadline. As a reminder, volunteers must have attended 3 of the past 5 IETF meetings - per RFC 3777, which means 3 of the following meetings: IETF-70, IETF-71, IETF-72, IETF-73 and IETF-74. If you qualify, and are willing to forgo appointment to any of the positions for which the nominating committee is responsible, please volunteer. The primary activity for this nomcom will begin just prior to IETF-75 in Stockholm and should be completed in early January 2010. The nomcom will be collecting requirements from the community, as well as talking to candidates and to community members about candidates. There will be weekly conference calls to ensure progress. Thus, being a nomcom member does require some time commitment. While, there is no requirement in RFC 3777 that a participant attend IETF meetings while serving on nomcom, folks should consider that during the IETF meetings, folks that do not attend would be expected to remotely participate during the day in the timezones of the meeting locations - Stockholm the end of July and Hiroshima in November. If you are not yet sure you would like to volunteer, please consider that nomcom members play a very important role in shaping the leadership of the IETF. Ensuring the leadership of the IETF is fair and balanced and comprised of those who can lead the IETF in the right direction is an important responsibility that rests on the IETF participants at large. Volunteering for the nomcom is a good way of contributing in that direction. Please volunteer by sending an email before 5:00 pm CDT July 3, 2009 as follows: To: mary.barnes@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Nomcom 2009-10 Volunteer Please include the following information in the body: <Your Full Name> // As you enter in the IETF Registration Form, // First/Given name followed by Last/Family Name // Please include all variations of names you might have used <Current Primary Affiliation> // as entered in the in the IETF Registration Form <Preferred email address> <all email addresses used to Register for the past 5 IETF meetings> <Telephone number> // May be used for confirmation if selected Please expect an email response from me within 1-2 days. If you don't receive a response, please re-send your email with the tag "Duplicate:" added to the subject line. I will be publishing a more detailed target timetable, as well as details of the randomness seeds to be used for the RFC 3797 selection process within the next couple weeks. Thank you, Mary H.
