Registration details for IETF 108
As previously announced [1], IETF 108 is switching to a fully online meeting over 5 days, 25-31 July, with an agenda structure similar to that of an in-person meeting [2]. Registrations will open on 8 June 2020 and the registration fees will be as follows: Early-Bird: USD 230, until 26 June 2020 Standard: USD 280, until 20 July 2020 Late: USD 330, after 20 July 2020 Full-time Student: USD 50 One Day Pass: USD 125 This meeting will have a substantial agenda but as the cost of an online meeting is lower, the registration fees have been set at approximately one-third of those for an in-person meeting. A detailed explanation of why we charge a fee for meetings and how the fee reduction was set for IETF 108 is provided in a separate blog post [3]. As online participants have until now not had to pay a fee, it is recognised that there may be some for whom the fee presents a barrier to participation and so we will provide up to 100 early bird fee waivers for IETF 108. If the number of waiver requests exceeds the number we can offer, waiver recipients will be chosen at random using a process similar to the one specified in RFC 3797. Details of how to apply for a waiver will be provided when registration opens. No decision has been made on whether or not a fee for online participation is needed when we return to in-person meetings. As this is a fully online meeting, there are two key changes in the meeting process for you to be aware of: 1. When you register you will be able to choose if you want to receive an IETF 108 t-shirt delivered to you at no additional expense. Numbers will be limited to 1000 t-shirts on a first-come-first-served basis with 900 for Early Birds and 100 for Students. 2. All participants will need a Datatracker account in order to authenticate with Meetecho. If you do not already have an account then one will be created for you during registration and you will receive a password setup link by email. As with in-person meetings, a video recording of each scheduled session will be posted after the session concludes and the proceedings will be posted in the normal timeframe following the meeting. Finally, we are still in the process of securing sponsors with some generous contributions already agreed and more under discussion. Full details and thanks will follow later. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or comments.

Nomcom 2020-2021 Call For Volunteers
The IETF NomCom appoints people to fill the open slots on the LLC, IETF Trust, the IAB, and the IESG. Ten voting members for the NomCom are selected in a verifiably random way from a pool of volunteers. The more volunteers, the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross section of the IETF population. The details of the operation of the NomCom can be found in BCP 10 (RFC 8713). RFC 3797 details the selection algorithm. Special for this year (and only this year), we also have RFC 8788 (one-off update to RFC 8713 / BCP 10) to tell us who is eligible to volunteer: Members of the IETF community must have attended at least three of the last five in-person IETF meetings in order to volunteer. The five meetings are the five most recent in-person meetings that ended prior to the date on which the solicitation for NomCom volunteers was submitted for distribution to the IETF community. Because no IETF 107 in-person meeting was held, for the 2020-2021 Nominating Committee those five meetings are IETFs 102 [Montreal, Canada; July 2018], 103 [Bangkok, Thailand; November 2018], 104 [Prague, Czech Republic; March 2019], 105 [Montreal, Canada; July 2019], and 106 [Singapore; November 2019]. Keep in mind that eligibility is based on in-person attendance at the five listed meetings. You can check your eligibility at: https://www.ietf.org/registration/nomcom.py. If you qualify, please volunteer. Before you decide to volunteer, please remember that anyone appointed to this NomCom will not be considered as a candidate for any of the positions that the 2020 - 2021 NomCom is responsible for filling. People commonly volunteer by ticking the box on IETF registration forms. The IETF 106 form did not ask whether people were willing to volunteer. IETF 107 did ask, but all those registrations were canceled. I have asked the Secretariat if it is possible to get the list if volunteers from canceled IETF 107 registrations. If that list is available, I will contact all who are verified as eligible. But given the uncertainty of this process, I would encourage people to volunteer directly (see the bottom of this email for instructions). Thank you for volunteering! The list of people and posts whose terms end with the March 2021 IETF meeting, and thus the positions for which this NomCom is responsible, are IETF Trust: Joel Halpern LLC: Maja Andjelkovic IAB: Jari Arkko Jeff Tantsura Mark Nottingham Stephen Farrell Wes Hardaker Zhenbin Li IESG: Alissa Cooper, IETF Chair/GEN AD Alvaro Retana, RTG AD Barry Leiba, ART AD Deborah Brungard, RTG AD Éric Vyncke, INT AD Magnus Westerlund, TSV AD Roman Danyliw, SEC AD Warren Kumari, OPS AD All appointments are for 2 years. The Routing area has 3 ADs and the General area has 1; all other areas have 2 ADs. Thus, all areas (that have more than one AD) have at least one continuing AD. The primary activity for this NomCom will begin in July 2020 and should be completed in January 2021. The NomCom will have regularly scheduled conference calls to ensure progress. There will be activities to collect requirements from the community, review candidate questionnaires, review feedback from community members about candidates, and talk to candidates. While being a NomCom member does require some time commitment it is also a very rewarding experience. As a member of the NomCom it is very important that you be willing and able to attend either videoconference or in-person meetings (which may not happen) during 14-20 November (IETF 109 - Bangkok) to conduct interviews. Videoconference attendance will be supported whether or not there are in-person meetings. Orientation and setting of the NomCom schedule will be done by videoconference during the week 20-24 July (exact time and date to be determined after NomCom membership is finalized on July 12), the week prior to IETF 108. Being at IETF 110 (Prague) is not essential. Please volunteer by sending me an email before 23:59 UTC June 24, 2020, as follows: To: nomcom-chair-2...@ietf.org Subject: NomCom 2020-21 Volunteer Please include the following information in the email body: Your Full Name: __ // as you write it on the IETF registration form Current Primary Affiliation: // Typically what goes in the Company field // in the IETF Registration Form Emails: ___ // All email addresses used to register for the past 5 IETF meetings // Preferred email address first Telephone: ___ // For confirmation if selected You should expect an email response from me within 5 business days stating whether or not you are qualified. If you don't receive this response, please re-send your email with the tag "RESEND"" added to the subject line. If you are not yet sure if you would like to volunteer,
