Dan Cohen Lars-Johan Liman John-Francis Mergen Rick Wesson Pindar Wong -- Brian Carpenter (IAB Chair) --------------- original call for nominations ------------- IETF, Last August, the IAB appointed two people to the Policy Oversight Committee (POC) established under the gTLD Memorandum of Understanding (see http://www.gtld-mou.org ). One of these appointments (Rob Austein) was for one year. The other one (Patrik Faltstrom) was for three years, but Patrik has recently resigned from the POC following his appointment to the IESG. The POC Chair, David Maher, has requested the IAB to appoint two new people, one to complete Patrik's term until August 2000, the other for a three year term until August 2001. The appointees are expected to act as individual experts, not as delegates or representatives of the IAB or the IETF. As last year, the IAB has decided to appoint persons with strong technical expertise in DNS and Internet technology and with a strong claim to have an international outlook. The IAB has further decided to make an open call for nominations from the IETF community. Procedure: 1. This message is the call for nominations, which should be sent to pocnom@iab.org by the closing date of 24 June 1998. ** DO NOT SEND NOMINATIONS AS A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE; SEND THEM TO mailto:pocnom@iab.org ** 2. Each nomination must give the name, affiliation, email address and phone number of the nominee, plus a brief statement (maximum 10 lines) about the nominee's technical and international credentials. 3. Self-nominations are allowed. 4. The IAB will verify each nominee's willingness to serve for two or three years. 5. The list of willing nominees will be published by the IAB shortly after the closing date. Confidential comments from the community will be solicited. The IAB will then make its two appointments as quickly as possible, and announce them at or before the August IETF. 6. Apart from the above, the IAB will be guided in its deliberations by the procedures defined in RFC 2282. 7. Nominees must accept that a recall procedure, analagous to that defined in RFC 2282, may be invoked at any time during their terms. Brian Carpenter (IAB Chair) brian@hursley.ibm.com
