IESG, and his two-year term is up in March.  The IESG is starting

The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year.
BCP 101 says:

The IAOC shall consist of eight voting members who shall be
selected as follows:

 o Two members appointed by the IETF Nominations 
    Committee (NomCom);

 o One member appointed by the IESG;

 o One member appointed by the IAB;

 o One member appointed by the ISOC Board of Trustees;

DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA

Candidates for the IAOC position should have a demonstrable
involvement in the IETF, knowledge of contracts and financial
procedures, awareness of the administrative support needs 
of the IAB, the IESG, and the IETF standards process.  The 
candidate is also expected to understand the respective roles
and responsibilities of the IETF and ISOC in IASA, and be
able to articulate these roles within the IETF community.

The candidate must be able to exercise all the duties of an
IAOC member, including fiduciary responsibilities, setting of
policies, oversight of the administrative operations of the
IETF, representing the interests of the IETF, and
participating in IAOC meetings and activities.

The candidate must be able to serve as a Trustee for the
IETF Trust.

Although the IESG selects this member of the IAOC, the
selected member does not directly represent the IESG.
The IESG-selected member is accountable directly to
the IETF community.


NOMINATIONS AND ELIGIBILITY

The IESG is making a public call for nominations.  
Self-nominations are permitted.  All IETF participants, 
including working group chairs, IETF NomCom members,
IAB members, and IESG members are eligible for

discussions.  Please send nominations to iesg at

SELECTION

The IESG will publish the list of nominated persons prior

comments provided by the community, and make a
selection.


CARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The following procedures will be used in managing 
candidates' personal information:

 o  The list of candidate names will be published at the
close of the nominations period.  A candidate that
refuses the nomination will not be included on the list.

 o  Except as noted above, all information provided to
the IESG during this process will be kept as confidential
to the IESG.

following the comment period.

On behalf of the IESG,

Jari Arkko
IESG Chair
