The IESG narrative minutes are posted, whenever available, at http://www.ietf.org/iesg/minutes.html. Currently, Sue Hares and John Leslie are carrying the load of taking these notes. Previously, Richard Barnes also served in this role, but he has now other duties. We are very happy and grateful for the service the scribes are producing - big thank you! The IESG would like to recruit at least one more scribe. Other time commitments are not always allowing current volunteers to adequately cover all of the IESG meetings, and sharing the load would also be useful. Volunteers should write to iesg@xxxxxxxx by May 10th. We'll keep names confidential, unless people choose to volunteer in public. The general guidelines are: - at least one scribe attends the regular IESG telechats (17:30 - 20:00 CET / 11:30 - 14:00 EST on alternate Thursdays). - the scribe(s) will record narrative minutes of the discussions, but they will not take part in the discussions except to ask for clarifications. - the narrative minutes will be published after review by the IESG. The intent is to publish the narrative minutes within a month of the meeting. - confidential items (principally personnel discussions) will not be reported in detail. The scribe will not take part in any sessions from which liaisons are excluded (e.g., nomination and appeal discussions). The IESG scribes get a first hand opportunity to observe the IESG and their decision process, as well many interesting technical and other topics. If we do not receive volunteers, then the narrative minutes service may not always be available. We know how important this service is, however, for both the community and the IESG itself, so additional volunteers would be appreciated. Jari Arkko On behalf of the IESG
