Just a point of fact: > You need to read it all. Regular candidates serve a 2 or 3 year > appointment. Mid-term vacancy fillers serve between 1 to three years > depending on when the vacancy occurs. AFAIK we've never made a normal > vacancy 1 year appointment. We did it on the IESG when we created the RAI area in 2006: Jon Peterson was appointed RAI AD for a one-year term, and Lars Eggert was give a one-year term in TSV to fill the mid-term vacancy. We did it on the IAB when we appointed Eliot Lear for a second one-year term in 2014 (his first one-year term was to fill the mid-term vacancy created when Jari became IETF Chair in 2013). Barry
