The IESG is starting the process to fill this seat in March 2018, with the term ending in March 2020. The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year.

Candidates 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.
