NOMCOM Chair 1998-1999 -- 14 September 1998 -- IETF-Announce ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for IETF Nominations Committee Volunteers Hi, This is the annual call for volunteers to serve on the IETF Nominations Committee. It's not only an important job, but by being on the nominations committee you can immunize yoursefl from being selected by it. To qualify, you must have attended at least two of the past three IETF meetings, be available for some fairly intense activity including a substantial number of telephone calls , including conference calls, probably for a period of about three months, and meet the other requirements in and agree to follow the procedures outlined in RFC 2282. The ten voting members of the NomCom will be selected from the qualified volunteers by an independently verifiable fair process. IESG members whose terms are expiring, along with their areas, are as follows: Harald Alvestrand (Operations & Management), Scott Bradner (Transport), Patrik Faltstrom (Applications), and Thomas Narten (Internet). IABers whose terms are expiring are as follows: Steve Deering, Tony Hain, Erik Huizer, Cyndi Jung, Robert Moskowitz, and Charlie Perkins. It is possible that the NomCom will have to fill more or fewer slots than this list, due to the creation or elimination of positions by the IESG, resignations, transfers, etc. The nominations committee is a crucial part of the IETF. Please volunteer if you are sure you can put in the time needed. If you wish to volunteer, please email your name, telephone number(s), and email address to no later than Monday, October 1st, 1998, and put "NOMCOM VOLUNTEER"in the subject line. Thanks, Donald E.
