Subject: [IETF LLC] Venue Review Committee

From: IETF Administration LLC Board of Directors Chair <[email-masked]>

Last year the IAOC created the Venue Review Committee (VRC) to assist with the review of potential meeting venues [1]. While the other IAOC committees were previously disbanded or re-purposed, the VRC continued to function beyond the IAOC’s conclusion to help maintain continuity as the IETF LLC has been ramping up. The LLC operation is now stable enough that the LLC Board has asked the Interim IETF Executive Director, Portia Wenze-Danley, to assume the responsibilities previously handled by the VRC. Portia will enjoy significant assistance from  
Laura Nugent from the Secretariat. Final meeting venue contracting decisions will continue to require LLC Board approval.

The IETF LLC Board very much appreciates the service of the current and prior IAOC Venue Review Committee members for their contributions to the community, including Lou Berger, Glenn Deen (Chair), Avri Doria, Bob Hinden, Eliot Lear, Jim Martin, Andrew Sullivan, and Sam Weiler. 

Regards, 
Jason Livingood
Chair, IETF LLC Board
