NomCom Chair -- 29 November 1994 -- IETF-Announce ------------------------------------------------- 1995 IAB/IESG Nominations Committee - Request for Volunteers Hello Folks, Whenever there are open positions in the IESG or IAB, it is the role of the Nominations Committee ("nomcom") to nominate candidates to fill such vacancies. The nomination committee is selected by a random drawing among experienced IETF attendees. Persons who have attended at least 2 IETF meetings are eligible to volunteer to serve on the nominations committee. The nominations committee remains active for one year, although the vast majority of the work is performed during the initial 5 months during the IAB and IESG transition period. Nomination Committee members are expected to participate in biweekly conference calls thoughout this period, as part of the ongoing process of forming the best recommendation possible for filling the open IAB and IESG positions. Clearly, the quality of the IETF leadership depends on two factors: 1) Establishment of a knowledgable nominations committee 2) An abundance of qualified candidates for the open positions At this time, I am asking for everyone's assistance with the first item: the establishment of a knowledgable nominations committee. If you have attended two (2) IETF meetings and have an interest in participating in the nominations committee, please send email to: nomcom@bbn.com with appropriate contact information (including name and contact phone #s). The list of volunteers will be verified as to qualification using the IETF secretariat attendance records at CNRI. A nominations committee will be formed from a randomly selected subset of the qualified volunteers. We hope to have the nominations committee selected prior to the upcoming IETF, so please respond as soon as possible, and in any case no later than Wednesday, November 30th. If anyone (who has volunteered) has not received confirmation mail, please contact me directly via email to "jcurran@bbn.com". Thanks! /John ----------------- From: John Curran
