Tobias Gondrom is the IAOC member that was appointed by the
IESG, and his two-year term is up in March.  The IESG is starting
the process to fill this seat in March 2016, with the term ending
in March 2018.

The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year.
BCP 101 says:

The IAOC shall consist of eight voting members who shall be
selected as follows:

 o Two members appointed by the IETF Nominations 
    Committee (NomCom);

 o One member appointed by the IESG;

 o One member appointed by the IAB;

 o One member appointed by the ISOC Board of Trustees;

 o The IETF Chair (ex officio);

 o The IAB Chair (ex officio);

 o The ISOC President/CEO (ex officio).

DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA

Candidates for the IAOC position should have a demonstrable
involvement in the IETF, knowledge of contracts and financial
procedures, awareness of the administrative support needs 
of the IAB, the IESG, and the IETF standards process.  The 
candidate is also expected to understand the respective roles
and responsibilities of the IETF and ISOC in IASA, and be
able to articulate these roles within the IETF community.

The candidate must be able to exercise all the duties of an
IAOC member, including fiduciary responsibilities, setting of
policies, oversight of the administrative operations of the
IETF, representing the interests of the IETF, and
participating in IAOC meetings and activities.

The candidate must be able to serve as a Trustee for the
IETF Trust.

Although the IESG selects this member of the IAOC, the
selected member does not directly represent the IESG.
The IESG-selected member is accountable directly to
the IETF community.
