NomCom 2025-2026 Call for Volunteers

[NomCom Chair 2025 <[e-mail]>]

The IETF Nominating Committee (NomCom) appoints people to fill the open slots on the IETF LLC, IETF Trust, the IAB, and the IESG.  Ten voting members for the NomCom are selected in a verifiably random way from a pool of volunteers.  A large pool of volunteers helps make the process work better.

NomCom activity is expected to start in July 2025 and run through to November 2025.  The goal is to do the bulk of the work at IETF 123 and 124, with supplemental conference calls between those times.  Remote participation will be supported.

The NomCom activities involve collecting requirements from the community, reviewing candidate responses, reviewing feedback from community members about candidates, interviewing candidates, and nominating a slate of candidates.

RFC 8713 details the NomCom process.  The NomCom voting member selection will follow RFC 9389 guidelines.  People qualify for NomCom participation in one of three ways:
- attendance at IETF meetings, three out of last five (online or virtual),
- service as a working group chair or secretary within three years prior to this call, or
- publication of IETF RFCs in last five years.

The exact eligibility criteria are at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9389#name-criteria.  You can check your individual eligibility at https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/profile/.

Within the two weeks, I will add more details on the timeline and the selection process.

Thank you!
