IESG -- 7 April 1993 -- IETF-Announce ------------------------------------- Announcement of new IESG members This message is to announce the new membership of the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) of the IETF. To review briefly -- last Fall a specially chartered working group was formed to examine how the procedures and structure of the IAB/IETF should evolve to accommodate continued growth and new constituencies. One of the key recommendations was to install a nominations process to select new IAB and IESG members. The procedure would be for IAB and IESG members to serve 2 year terms with half of the positions of the IAB and IESG subject to re-selection each year. The Internet Society Board of Trustees would review and ratify the new IAB nominations, and the IAB would review and ratify the new IESG nominations. Following the November IETF meeting, a nominating committee was selected by a random drawing from volunteering IETF attendees. Jeff Case served as the chair. At the Thursday evening open plenary session of last week's IETF meeting in Columbus Ohio, Jeff reported the results of the Nominations Committee. I'm told Jeff will issue a fuller report regarding the committee's experience in carrying out this first-time process, and there will be other announcements regarding the IAB membership. This message is to announce the new IESG members. First, let me give a some well deserved thanks and appreciation to the members who decided not to continue on the new IESG. These are Phil Almquist (Consultant) -- Internet Area Dave Borman (Cray Research) -- Transport Services Area James (Chuck) Davin (Bellcore) -- Network Management Russ Hobby (UC Davis) -- Applications Area Serving on the IESG is a volunteer job, and as these folks know all too well, it requires a serious investment of time. I suspect they will be very glad to reclaim this large time and energy committment, but they have served us all well and will be missed. They deserve our thanks. The new membership of the IESG is below. The names marked with a "*" are those nominated by the Nominating Committee and confirmed by the IAB.
