To the IETF Community,

One of the roles of the Internet Society (ISOC) President is to appoint the IETF Nominations Committee chair. This is done through consultation with members of the IETF community, as well as input from past IETF NomCom Chairs. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Peter Yee has agreed to serve as the 2017 - 2018 IETF Nominations Committee chair.

Peter first participated in the IETF starting with IETF 19 while working as a communications engineer at NASA Ames Research Center.  He has been active in the areas of directory systems and cryptographic network protocols.  He is an author or co-author of RFC 1803, 2773, 2943, 2951, 6818, and 7030.  Besides getting an awesome start in networking at NASA, he has also been employed at SPYRUS, RSA Security, and AKAYLA.  Aside from working on network protocols, Peter is a certified project manager, security consultant, and private pilot.

A Call for Nominations for this committee will be sent shortly to the IETF Announcement list; and a list of IESG, IAB and IAOC/IETF Trust seats to be filled will also be published. Please consider volunteering for the Nominations Committee as well as send candidate recommendations for the open positions to Peter, who will share them with the committee when seated.

Thanks again to everyone for their support and special thanks to Peter for agreeing to take on this important responsibility.  Peter can be reached at <[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>>.
