The IAB thanks all of the candidates who were willing to serve. This was
a difficult decision with many strong candidates.
Like an IETF working group, this program will have completely open
participation. The program will use the mailing list
rfced-future@xxxxxxx. To subscribe, please go to
<https://www.iab.org/mailman/listinfo/rfced-future>.
Future details about the operation of the program will be coming
shortly.

To satisfy my curiosity - could the IAB give us some idea of its
thinking in selecting Eliot?
While I appreciate Eliot's attributes, I would have thought Neville -
who has substantial experience as the ISE, or John - who was a
substantial contributor to the original process that led to us hiring
Heather or some combination of the two* would have been a slam dunk
choice. I may not have all the details on Eliot's experience related
to editing and publication.
*AIRC, there was substantial desire expressed by the community for
this program to be led by co-chairs rather than a single person.
Feel free to take this as a question (perhaps the first question) for
the Plenary.
Mike
Sorry - one last question. Which IAB selected Eliot? The Incoming one
or the outgoing one?
Thanks - Mike
