The work of an IAOC/Trust member

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

 




Folks,

I'm the newest IAOC/Trust member (from last year). The previous year I was on Nomcom. This year I am the IAOC Liaison to Nomcom. All of this has sensitized me about how little I and others have tended to know about the concrete work of the IAOC and Trust.

As a simple aid, I produced a terse list that covers the range of things an IAOC/Trust member has to be comfortable dealing with. (The list was reviewed by the IAOC but was not subject to an approval process; so consider it my personal comment.)

If one were trying to describe the things that someone on the IAOC spends their time discussing and deciding, here's the cryptic list of terms that covers it:

     Administration

     Event Planning

     Venue Selection

     Budget Planning

     Expenditure Approval

     Requests for Proposal (RFP)

     Human Resources (HR)

     Contracts

     Intellectual Property (IPR)

     Subpoenas


Anyone involved in the IAOC/Trust will have know something about each of these worlds.

Note that the IETF often has distinctive concerns and decision processes for these topics, as with all others. Familiarity with IETF "culture" is, therefore, as important for IAOC/Trust work as all other IETF work.
