This is a call for volunteers to participate in the 2004/05 IETF Nominations Committee, the committee that will select this year's nominees for the IAB and IESG. Details about the Nominations Committee process can be found in RFC 3777. The NomCom is the IETF's way of choosing its leadership. Typically, half of the IAB and half of the IESG is selected each year. It is possible that the NomCom will have to fill more or fewer slots than this, due to the creation or elimination of positions by the IESG, resignations, transfers, etc.. IESG members whose terms are up are: Harald Alvestrand -- IETF Chair Bill Fenner -- Routing Area Ted Hardie -- Applications Area Russ Housley -- Security Area David Kessens -- Operations & Management Area Thomas Narten -- Internet Area Jon Peterson -- Transport Area IAB members whose terms are up are: Bernard Aboba Rob Austein Sally Floyd Jun-ichiro Itojun Hagino Mark Handley Geoff Huston For the NomCom to work as it should, the pool from which the volunteers are chosen should be as large as possible. The more people who volunteer, the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF population. Volunteering for the NomCom is also a great way of serving the IETF community -- so please volunteer! NomCom members are barred from nomination during the year they serve, even if they later resign. Therefore, being selected for NomCom provides complete immunity against selection for the IAB or IESG during that year. People who volunteer should be sure that they can afford the time, several hours per week for the next 4-5 months. The task basically involves the following activities: - Reading candidates statements - Participating in a weekly 2 hour conference call - Attending the IETF meetings held during the selection process - Conducting interviews with candidates - Speaking to IETF participants about the candidates, the job requirements and the process All NomCom deliberations and supporting information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed candidates is confidential. The NomCom members will be exposed to confidential information as a result of their deliberations, their interactions with those they consult, and those who provide requested supporting information. All members are expected to handle this information in a manner consistent with its sensitivity. To qualify as a volunteer, a person needs to have attended 3 out of the last 5 IETF meetings. Anyone who meets this requirement is invited to volunteer by emailing your name, telephone number(s), email address and primary affiliation to danny@tcb.net no later than Tuesday, October 5, 2004. Please put "NOMCOM VOLUNTEER" in the subject line. Once the list of volunteers closes it will be announced and published at the following URL: http://www.ietf.org/nomcom/index.html We will then run the selection process and announce results the week of October 11, 2004. Ten (10) NomCom voting members will be chosen from the pool of volunteers according to the procedures described in RFC 2777 "Publicly Verifiable Nomcom Random Selection". The source of randomness will be based on the number of shares traded in the following 12 stocks. The official shares traded numbers (denoted in 000s) will be drawn from the October 13, 2004 Wall Street Journal which reports the sales figures from the previous trading day - October 12, 2004. If trading in any of the shares is suspended, then the shares traded will be assumed to be 0. Please volunteer! Thanks!
