The purpose of the IETF Trust is to acquire, hold, maintain, and license certain existing and future intellectual property and other property used in connection with the administration of the IETF. More information about the IETF Trust can be found at https://trustee.ietf.org/. According to RFC8714, the IESG is required to appoint one person to the IETF Trust, for a term of two-years. A previous IESG had reappointed Stephan Wenger in March 2020. Consequently, the current IESG should have started the appointment process for the 2022-24 term earlier this year. Unfortunately, this appointment deadline was not added to the IESG calendar, and it hence got forgotten. The IESG apologizes for this error, and wishes to thank Stephan for silently continuing to serve. The IESG is hence asking for volunteers to serve as the IESG appointee to the IETF Trust for the remainder of the 2022-24 term. DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA The Trust is mostly a quiet organization, and being a trustee generally involves little work beyond quarterly online meetings. Trustees ideally should be: * Familiar with copyright and trademark law. * Familiar with the RFC publication process as described in RFC 6635 and related documents. * Familiar with the Trust's copyright licenses and with RFCs 5377 and 5378. * Willing to serve multiple terms as a trustee to provide continuity of oversight. NOMINATIONS AND ELIGIBILITY The IESG is making a public call for nominations. Self-nominations are permitted. All IETF participants, including working group chairs, IETF NomCom members, IAB members, IESG members, and candidates for the IETF LLC Board are eligible for nomination. Of course, IESG members who accept nomination will recuse themselves from selection discussions. Persons who are under consideration by the NomCom in the 2022-23 cycle for the open IETF Trust position are also welcome to apply. Please send nominations to iesg@ietf.org. Please include the following with each nomination: * Name * Contact information * Candidate background and qualifications SELECTION The IESG will publish the list of nominated persons prior to making a decision, allowing time for the community to provide any relevant comments to the IESG. The IESG will review the nomination material, any comments provided by the community, and may decide to interview the candidates before making a selection. CARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION The following procedures will be used in managing candidates' personal information: * The list of candidate names will be published at the close of the nominations period. A candidate that refuses the nomination will not be included on the list. * Except as noted above, all information provided to the IESG during this process will be kept as confidential to the IESG. TIMEFRAME The nominations period will opens today, September 9, 2022 and closes on October 7, 2022. The list of candidates will be posted shortly after the close of nominations, and the community will then have two weeks to provide comments on the candidates to the IESG. The IESG will consider the community feedback and make its decision. If the candidate pool overlaps with the NomCom's IETF Trust candidate pool, the IESG will wait to announce a selection until the NomCom announces its selections for the IETF Trust, to avoid a race condition.
