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.

The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year.  BCP 101 =
says:

The IAOC shall consist of eight voting members who shall be selected as =
follows:

  o Two members appointed by the IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom);

  o One member appointed by the IESG;

  o One member appointed by the IAB;

  o One member appointed by the ISOC Board of Trustees;

  o The IETF Chair (ex officio);

  o The IAB Chair (ex officio);

  o The ISOC President/CEO (ex officio).

Current IAOC members can be found at http://iaoc.ietf.org/members.html


DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA

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.

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.

The candidate must be able to serve as a Trustee for the IETF Trust.

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.


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, and IESG members are eligible for =
nomination.  Of course, IESG members who accept nomination will recuse =
themselves from selection discussions.  Please send nominations to iesg =
at ietf.org.  Please include the following with each nomination:

  o  Name

  o  Contact information

  o  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 make a selection.


CARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The following procedures will be used in managing candidates' personal =
information:

  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.

  o  Except as noted above, all information provided to the IESG during =
this process will be kept as confidential to the IESG.


TIMEFRAME

The two-week nominations period will open on 9 December 2013, and close =
on 24 December 2013.

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.

The IESG will make a selection on the IESG telechat following the =
comment period.

On behalf of the IESG,
Jari Arkko
IESG Chair
