Re: admin director (was The other parts of the report..)

Brian,

your timeline looks very deliberate and formally correct.
However, I worry about the ability of the IETF to work constructively while 
knowing that its future is still in flux for that long.

So I put some dates in.

September/October 2004. We have a draft job description in appendix E of 
the report, and very few (no?) specific comments on that draft.

Budget approval: October/November. Not a problem, I think.
If search takes 3 months: February 2005 for the hire.

If the person does not know the IETF intimately: May 2005 (3 months).
Considerably shorter if person accepts previous work - but that runs into 
almost the same issues as "RFP sent out before hire".

Contracts: Fall 2005.

2006?
