re section 3.5 mid-term vacancies please hold off on this particular section for a bit - I am in the middle of proposing some changes to the ISOC bylaws - mostly to clear up some confusions - and one of these changes concerns IETF vacancy appointments the current bylaws do not limit when the IETF can appoint someone to fill a vacancy but do limit when such an appointment can take office to the start of the ISOC mid year meeting, when all new trustees take office - which might be a bit frustrating to the appointee I am proposing a bylaws update that will put the IETF appointment t fill a vacancy to be the same as it is for the chapters & org members - with until the next appointment cycle (to do otherwise provided unequal treatment for the IETF) in any case some change is needed to clarify the existing situation Scott > On Feb 24, 2016, at 12:59 PM, IAB Executive Administrative Manager <execd@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > This is an announcement of an IETF-wide Call for Comment on > draft-iab-rfc3677bis-00. > > The document is being considered for publication as a Best Current > Practice RFC within the IAB stream, and is available for inspection > here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iab-rfc3677bis/ > > The Call for Comment will last until 2016-03-23.
