The IETF NomCom appoints people to fill the open slots on the IETF 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.
To volunteer click on this link: ttps://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/volunteer Note that if you are selected for NomCom you are ineligble to be a candidate for any position. The primary activity for this NomCom will begin in shortly after IETF 114 in July 2021 and should be completed by January 2022. The NomCom will have regularly scheduled conference calls to ensure progress. There will be activities to collect requirements from the community, review candidate responses, review feedback from community members about candidates, and talk to candidates. The details of the operation of the NomCom can be found in RFC 8713. RFC 3797 details the selection algorithm. Note that the IESG has already decided to repeat the experiment detailed in RFC 8989 for this cycle. That is, in addition to the traditional "Path 1" of eligibility (three out of the last five meetings), there are two other ways to become eligible: Path 2. WG chair or Secretary within the past three years Path 3. Author of Editor (as listed on the front page) of two IETF stream RFC's within the past five years. An approved draft in the RFC Editor queue counts as an RFC. Last year, there were no NomCom members from Path 2 or Path 3. If you qualify under those criteria, please consider volunteering. The list of positions will be announced soon, well before the NomCom is chosen, so you can "back out" if you need to. You can check your eligibility by logging in and viewing your profile page at https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/profile/ Note that the code is being reviewed, so if you dispute it please let me know. Again, should you wish To volunteer, click on this link: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/volunteer While being a NomCom member does require some time commitment it is also immeasurably important to the short-term future of the IETF. I hope that one outcome from this year's NomCom is that future volunteers will have much better information about the commitment. All NomCom meetings and candidate interviews will be hybrid (a mix of virtual and remote). You can find a detailed timeline on the NomCom web site shortly: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2022/ Within the next week or two, I will add more details on the timeline, as well as details of the randomness seeds to be used for the RFC 3797 selection process. Thank you! I will be in-person for IETF 114 (arriving Saturday, leaving early Friday morning) if you want to chat.
