Subject: NOMCOM - Time-Critical - Final Call for Nominations

A critically low number of people have accepted nominations for some of the IESG open positions.  There is only one nominee per slot in APP, OPS and TSV, only two in INT and RAI.  Many folks have declined nominations.  

While the Nomcom appreciates that support for two years of intense service is hard to assure, and while we are aware that there is much support for the incumbents who are standing, the IETF should continually be considering which new talent is available for our leadership, and the Nomcom process needs for there to be some review and deliberation. 

Therefore, we urgently request that more nominees come forward.  

DEADLINES
Nominations - October 18
Questionnaires from nominees - October 25

Not coincidentally, this is a good time to think over and send your comments about the current statements of desired expertise of positions - this is part of the Nomcom's annual review process as well.  Send them to [email-masked].

Thanks, everyone,

Allison for the Nomcom

[*] This year the Nomcom tools were recoded, and also transitioned into the datatracker.  Apologies for a number of places where we didn't catch reference errors.

[**] Yes, alas, the previous call for nominations used "OAM" instead of "OPS," but we have* corrected this (chair's pilot) error where it occurred in the Nomcom pages.
