The 2002-2003 Nominations Committee is now 
soliciting nominations for the open 
slots on the IESG and IAB.

Please take the time, even if it is 
only a few moments, to send us your 
thoughts.

Members of the community are encouraged to 
nominate candidates for any of the positions 
which are up for re-filling:

IESG Terms ending in March, 2003: 
Harald Alvestrand IETF Chair 
Scott Bradner Transport 
Randy Bush Operations & Management 
Patrik Faltstrom Applications 
Thomas Narten Internet 
Bill Fenner Routing 
Jeff Schiller Security

IAB Terms ending in March, 2003: 
Ran Atkinson 
Rob Austein 
Fred Baker 
Steve Deering 
Sally Floyd 
Geoff Huston

Members of the community are encouraged to contact the nomcom 
confidentially

1) to nominate someone for any of these positions (please provide the 
email address of any nominee), 
2) to provide input relating to potential candidates, or 
3) to provide comments regarding the past performance of incumbents. 
All of this information will be considered during the deliberations of 
the nominating committee and will be held in confidence by the nominating 
committee.

We emphasize that comments sent to the nominations committee will be kept 
in confidence. As noted in RFC 2727 "all deliberations and supporting 
information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed 
candidates are confidential."

Self-nominations are accepted. The deadline for nominations is midnight 
Friday, November 22, 2002. Early input is desirable so that candidates 
may be interviewed during the Atlanta IETF meeting.

The members of the NomCom can be contacted individually at the addresses 
below or collectively at [email-masked]. Additionally, the members of 
the NomCom will be identified at the IETF by a marker (as yet undetermined) 
on their name tags. People are encouraged to take advantage of the 
opportunity to talk to the members of the NomCom about nominations 
and other issues related to the IAB and IESG membership.

The role of non-voting members (from RFC 2727):
"The nominations committee comprises at least a non-voting Chair, 
10 voting volunteers, and 3 non-voting liaisons. The sitting IAB 
and IESG members each appoint a non-voting liaison to the nominating 
committee from their current membership who are not sitting in an 
open position. The Chair of the prior year's nominating committee 
also serves as a non-voting liaison.
