The 2016-17 Nominating Committee (Nomcom) is seeking nominations from now until February 17, 2017 for the position of ART AD. This appoint will fill the 1 year vacancy created by Alissa Cooper's resignation as she moves to the IETF Chair seat. https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/ Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of the Nomcom 2016 home page, or by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2016/nominate/ {Note that nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org datatracker account. You can create a datatracker ietf.org account if you don't have one already by visiting the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/ } If you are unable to use the web form, nominations may instead be made by email to nomcom-16@xxxxxxxx. If using email, please include the word "Nominate" in the Subject and indicate in the email who is being nominated and their email address (to confirm acceptance of the nomination). If you are nominating someone other than yourself, please tell us if we may tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. Self-nomination is welcome! Willing nominees will be asked to fill out a questionnaire for the ART AD position. The questionnaires will be available February 8, 2017 and have a submission deadline of February 17, 2017. NomCom 2016-17 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing Nominees" described in BCP 10/RFC 7437. As stated in RFC 7437: "The list of nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the current Nomcom cycle is not confidential". Willing nominees for the ART AD position will be listed in a publicly accessible way - anyone with a datatracker account may access the lists. Additionally, the nomination form asks if we may share your own name with the nominee. In all other ways, the confidentiality requirements of BCP10 remain in effect. All feedback and all Nomcom deliberations will remain confidential and will not be disclosed. There is a field on the form you can mark in order to allow the Nomcom to tell the nominee that you were the one who made the nomination. This defaults to “no” - so if you don't mark the field we won’t tell. In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the NomCom on or before February 17, 2017. Please submit your nominations as early as possible for the sake of your nominees. Note that nominations should not wait for management permission, as it is easier to decline the nomination than put one in late.
