[ieee-ietf-coord] János Farkas selected as new IETF liaison manager to IEEE 802.1

[IAB Executive Administrative Manager <[e-mail]>]

Back in December, the IAB sent out a call for volunteers[1] for a new 
IETF liaison manager to IEEE 802.1[2]. The IAB is pleased to announce 
that János Farkas[3] has been selected as the new liaison manager to 
IEEE 802.1.

János is taking over the role from Eric Gray, who recently retired 
after serving in this role for many years. The IAB thanks Eric for his 
service.

The IEEE 802.1 Working Group is chartered to concern itself with and 
develop standards and recommended practices in the following areas: 
802 LAN/MAN architecture, internetworking among 802 LANs, MANs and 
other wide area networks, 802 Security, 802 overall network 
management, and protocol layers above the MAC & LLC layers.

The IETF process for managing liaison relationships is detailed in RFCs 
4052[4], 4053[5], and 4691[6]. The IETF’s relationship with IEEE 802 is 
described in RFC 7241[7].
