Typos etc. are easily fixed (in-line).
Isn't it normal to give a closing date for applications rather than to
say when evaluation of applications will start? It might also be usual
to indicate from when we are hoping to fill the post.
Is "Salary levels commensurate with experience and qualifications" a
cop-out? You might say "expected to be in the range..."

The IETF Administrative Entity is seeking a highly capable
individual
to serve as Administrative Director. You will report to the
Internet Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) be accountable
s/(IAOC) be/(IAOC) and be/
to the IETF community. This is a highly visible and very demanding
job. You will be expected to:
o Working with the IAOC to document and cater for the administrative
s/Working/Work/
requirements of the IETF, IESG, IAB and IRTF.
o Establish the IASA/IETF annual budgets, and the financial
administration and reporting of IASA/IETF.
If you mean that there are two separate operations here:
1. establish budgets
2. establish financial admin and reporting
I suggest you split this into two bullets
o Work with ISOC and various service providers to establish
appropriate agreed budgets and related financial and performance
reporting.
o Contract negotiations with service providers, and establish
s/Contract negotiations/Negotiate contracts/
procedures for meassuring the performance of these providers.
o Eventual mangagement of support staff and contractors.
s/Eventual mangagement/Assume eventual mangagement/
o Serve as the day-to-day chief operating officer of the IETF,
managing a number of contractors and working with a number of
volunteers.
o Work with our liaison organizations, such as the RFC Editor and
the IANA.
o Serve as the primary staff resource for the governing body of the
administrative entity for the IETF.
o Work with your contractors and members of the IETF community to
provide adequate support and planning for 3 IETF meetings
annually, and for frequent meetings and teleconferences of the
IAB, IESG, and other bodies that support the IETF.
The following characteristics are necessary for this job:
o This job is public service. You should be able to work
successfully with large numbers of people. This requires a high
clock rate, a large stack, and the ability to listen carefully.
o This is an operations job. IETF meetings are large and complex,
and the day-to-day activities of the standards-making process is
demanding. You should be adept at getting real results and
helping large groups work together towards common goals and
deadlines.
o This is a public job. You will be required to present the
results and achievements of the IASA in front of the community
as well as dealing with questions from individual members of the
community. The goal of IASA is to achieve as much transparency
as possible so good communication skills, and previous similar
experiences are valued.
o This job requires a financially astute individual. The IETF is a
$2-$3 million/year operation. IETF funds are tight and we expect
you to take leadership in establishing our budgetary procedures,
our procurement standards, and understanding our revenue sources.
In-depth familiarity with the IETF prior to assuming this position
is
not required, but you must be able to quickly get up to speed and
learn the unique culture and requirements of the organization.
Likewise, long-term technical experience is not required, but you
must be a quick learner and adept at using the Internet effectively.
The Internet Society is based in Reston, Virginia and the job will
require a high level of travel for IETF meetings and preparation and
related meetings.
You may work out of a home office as a telecommuter, or use the
Internet Society facilities in Virginia. In either case, you should
be prepared to travel to Virginia, IETF meetings, and the locations
where the IETF has contractors.
Salary levels commensurate with experience and qualifications.
You must be fluent in spoken and written english.
