Hi Leslie, all,
I've a small comment regarding the profile. I'm not thinking in any specific
candidate, but I think this is very relevant for a fair selection.
The first point, keeping and editing the minutes, almost excludes the
non-native English speakers, at least, they will have a much more difficult
job if a non-native candidate is appointed for this.
I think this concrete point never must be considered when selecting the
candidate among a possible pool, and thus even excluded from your call for
candidates. I'm sure that if the candidate selected can fulfill the rest of
the mission almost, and he/she has any problems with taking the minutes, it
should not be an issue to get support from other IAB members.
I fully understand that you already indicated that this is the profile of a
perfect candidate, etc., however, this specific task is not consequent with
the wide spectrum of participants in the IETF, and thus make it unfair.
Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: Seeking a new IAB Executive Director
All,
Due to other commitments Phil Roberts will not be able to continue
his role as Executive Director. Therefore the IAB is currently looking
to appoint a replacement.
The Executive Director is a non-voting ex-officio member of the IAB.
(See RFC2850, the IAB's charter, for details). We are looking for
suggestions, based on the brief profile for the role, below.
We would like you to consider this profile and either suggest yourself
or other people that you think that would fit well in this role by
sending mail to the IAB at iab(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_) We do not intend
to disclose
the names of the nominees in public, but we may wish to discuss this
issue with third parties such as the Area Directors. If you have a
problem with your name being mentioned in this context, please let us
know.
Note that this profile is written for a somewhat ideal candidate. We
fully realize that such people are probably non-existent. So don't
hesitate to suggest somebody who in your opinion would fit this role
but might not meet all the qualifications 100 percent. Here is the
profile:
- Writing skills. The Executive Director keeps and edits the minutes
of the IAB meetings and prepares them for public dissemination.
- Sysadmin skills. The Executive Director handles the administration
of the IAB websites, including the maintenance of tools such as
Wikis, Jabber servers, email lists, etc.
- IETF experience. It is desirable for the candidate to have at least
some experience with the IETF.
- Organizational skills. The Executive Director serves as a
program manager for IAB work items. It is desirable for the
candidate to be able to juggle many outstanding tasks simultaneously.
- Enough time available. For example, it is preferable that the
candidate not be chair of more than one IETF WG, or a member
of the IESG or IAB. The Executive Director would be expected
to be present in person at IETF meetings and IAB Retreats
(typically one per year). The IAB has approximately 5 hours of
teleconferences per month.
We would like to receive your comments & suggestions by April 2
2007 and we plan to make a decision as soon as possible thereafter.
It will be helpful if you indicate in your email how you or the
suggested person fits this profile as best as possible.
on behalf of the IAB,
Leslie and Olaf
