Registration details for IETF 108

2020-05-27 Thread IETF Executive Director
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

2020-05-27 Thread NomCom Chair 2020
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:

   // Preferred email address first

You should expect an email response from me within 5 business days stating

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,

The 2020-2021 Nominating Committee (NomCom) is to be formed between
the IETF 107 and IETF 108 meetings, and the issue of eligibility of
who can serve on that NomCom needs clarification. This document
provides a one-time interpretation of the eligibility rules that is
required for the exceptional situation of the cancellation of the
in-person IETF 107 meeting.  This document only affects the seating
of the 2020-2021 NomCom and any rules or processes that relate to
NomCom eligibility before IETF 108; it does not set a precedent to be
applied in the future.


BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for 
improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
