Re: IAB report to the community for IETF 110

The new and continuing members voted on the IAB chair, as normal! Due to the virtual meeting schedule, the inaugural meeting with the new members joining as full members (that would normally occur on the Sunday before IETF week) was held on the Wednesday before instead. This is the same process that was followed last year as well.

Please see the agenda for that meeting here: https://www.iab.org/wiki/index.php/2021-03-03_Agenda <https://www.iab.org/wiki/index.php/2021-03-03_Agenda>.

Best,
Tommy

>> The IAB has established a new Liaison Coordinator position. This position provides a clear contact point for all liaison managers as well as for the community regarding any liaison-related requests towards the IAB. Further, this new role is a first step to improve coordination and communication of our liaison management and handling of liaison statements. The IAB is currently working actively on further improvements in that direction.
