IESG Chair -- 6 February 1997 -- IETF ------------------------------------- Re: IETF Nominations Committee Report I want to thank Geoff Huston for the work of the Nominating Committee in selecting new Area Directors. I would like also to thank our three outgoing Area Directors for their efforts over the past several years. These Area Directors are: Frank Kastenholz Internet Deirdre Kostick Network Management Allison Mankin Transport & IPNG The new IESG, effective the evening of 4/10/96, will therefore be: Fred Baker IETF Chair Harald Alvestrand Applications Keith Moore Applications Scott Bradner Transport Services Allyn Romanow Transport Services Jeffrey Burgan Internet Thomas Narten Internet Mike O'Dell Operations & Management John Curran Operations & Management Joyce K. Reynolds User Services Jeff Schiller Security Joel Halpern Routing Steve Coya IETF Executive Director The new IAB chair and an IAB liaison will also be members of the IESG. The IESG is acting to effect a smooth switchover, by adding Tom Narten and John Curran to its mailing list and by inviting them to join the IESG in its activities at the Memphis IETF prior to their installation. We expect that they and Scott Bradner will join the sitting Area Directors in their duties during that meeting. However, as the installation of new Area Directors occurs during the Thursday evening plenary meeting, they will not actually have that authority until Thursday, and the sitting Area Directors will be authoritative until Thursday evening. The merger of the Operations and Network Management areas will be effective as of the beginning of that meeting. For the duration of the meeting there will be three Area Directors: Mike O'Dell, Scott Bradner, and Deirdre Kostick. After the meeting ADs for the O&M area will be Mike O'Dell and John Curran.
