Welcome to the IAB/IESG Nominating Committee!

This page is intended to keep members of the IETF community informed about the current status of the 1995-96 nominations process for the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG).

The rest of this page has three parts:

• Status of the Nominations Process for the IAB
• Status of the Nominations Process for the IESG
• Information on how to contact the Nominating Committee

The NomCom reviews all open positions. It may re-nominate the current occupant of a position or may nominate a replacement, based on comments and suggestions from the community. The members of the NomCom strongly request the participation of the entire IETF community in the nominating process. Each member of the IETF should feel free to nominate individuals for any of the open IAB or IESG positions. Each member of the IETF should also feel free to make suggestions to the NomCom, including comments about possible nominees.
