Call for Volunteers: IAB Scribe

2010-07-27 06:06:10


Dear Colleagues,

The IAB is working to improve the effectivity of posting meeting minutes.  To 
this end, the board is seeking one or more volunteers to scribe during IAB 
meetings, and then produce public meeting minutes from discussion transcripts.

On average the IAB holds three 1.5 hour telechats per month.  Two of those 
meetings, the business meetings, need public minutes produced to some detail.  
The other meeting, a techchat, needs decisions and substantive discussion 
minuted.  In general, the scribe will capture transcript-style notes for 
internal IAB use, and then convert these notes to higher-level public minutes.

In addition to the telechats, the scribe will also be expected to join (and 
scribe) the IAB meetings held during IETF week, and to attend the annual IAB 
retreat.  The IAB meets Sunday through Thursday during IETF week, with optional 
participation in the joint IESG-IAB meeting on Friday morning.  These meetings 
do not conflict with normal WG slots.  The IAB retreat generally occurs over 
2-3 days in late spring (location varies).  Finally, the scribe will assist 
with IAB/IESG BOF calls.

A main goal of soliciting scribes is to expedite minute production, so it is 
expected that minutes would be completed and reviewed within 10 days of a 
meeting.  The scribe will work closely with the IAB chair and Executive 
Director, but will not be designated as an ex-officio member of the IAB.  Due 
to the nature of IAB discussions, the scribe will be required to adhere to IAB 
confidentiality practices.

Scribing IAB meetings is a good way to gain exposure to a variety of 
architectural and administrative topics of the IAB, IETF, and related 
organizations.  I would like to encourage individuals who are relatively new to 
the IETF to volunteer.

Interested individuals should send email to iab-chair(_at_)iab(_dot_)org" 
and/or execd(_at_)iab(_dot_)org(_dot_)
