> Ole Jacobsen is the IAOC member that was appointed by the IESG, and =
his two-year term is up in March.  The IESG is starting the process to =
fill this seat in March 2014, with the term ending in March 2016.
>=20
> The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year.  BCP =
101 says:
>=20
> The IAOC shall consist of eight voting members who shall be selected =
as follows:
>=20
>  o Two members appointed by the IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom);
>=20
>  o One member appointed by the IESG;
>=20
>  o One member appointed by the IAB;
>=20
>  o One member appointed by the ISOC Board of Trustees;
>=20
>  o The IETF Chair (ex officio);
>=20
>  o The IAB Chair (ex officio);
>=20
>  o The ISOC President/CEO (ex officio).
>=20
> Current IAOC members can be found at http://iaoc.ietf.org/members.html
>=20
>=20
> DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA
>=20
> Candidates for the IAOC position should have a demonstrable =
involvement in the IETF, knowledge of contracts and financial =
procedures, awareness of the administrative support needs of the IAB, =
the IESG, and the IETF standards process.  The candidate is also =
expected to understand the respective roles and responsibilities of the =
IETF and ISOC in IASA, and be able to articulate these roles within the =
IETF community.
>=20
> The candidate must be able to exercise all the duties of an IAOC =
member, including fiduciary responsibilities, setting of policies, =
oversight of the administrative operations of the IETF, representing the =
interests of the IETF, and participating in IAOC meetings and =
activities.
>=20
> The candidate must be able to serve as a Trustee for the IETF Trust.
>=20
> Although the IESG selects this member of the IAOC, the selected member =
does not directly represent the IESG.  The IESG-selected member is =
accountable directly to the IETF community.
>=20
>=20
> NOMINATIONS AND ELIGIBILITY
>=20
> 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, and IESG members are eligible for =

themselves from selection discussions.  Please send nominations to iesg =

>=20
> SELECTION

> The IESG will review the nomination material, any comments provided by =
the community, and make a selection.
>=20
>=20
> CARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
>=20
> The following procedures will be used in managing candidates' personal =
information:
>=20
>  o  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.
>=20
>  o  Except as noted above, all information provided to the IESG during =
this process will be kept as confidential to the IESG.
>=20
>=20
> TIMEFRAME
>=20
> The two-week nominations period will open on 9 December 2013, and =
close on 24 December 2013.
>=20
> The list of candidates will be posted shortly after the nominations =
close, and the community will have two weeks (after the holiday period) =
to provide comments on the candidates to the IESG.
>=20
> The IESG will make a selection on the IESG telechat following the =
comment period.
