Please forward to all interested parties. As part of its oversight responsibility for the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), the IAB is responsible for selecting the IRTF Chair. The current IRTF Chair, Colin Perkins, has indicated that he plans to step down from this position in March 2025. The IAB thanks Colin for his service. The IAB is currently soliciting nominations for the IRTF Chair, for a term beginning at IETF 122 in March 2025 and ending at IETF 128 in March 2027. The IRTF Chair position is split between two areas of responsibility: day to day administrative coordination of the IRSG, and strategic vision for the future of the IRTF. A description of the IRTF Chair role can be found in RFC 7827, "The Role of the IRTF Chair" [1]. An outline of the IRTF Chair tasks is maintained in the IAB wiki [2]. The time commitment for the IRTF Chair averages about 25% of the time in normal work weeks, and full-time for about 6 weeks a year during the Applied Networking Research Workshop, the review period for the Applied Networking Research Prize, the IETF meetings, and IAB retreats.
