Subject: IAB Seeks Executive Director
Reply-To: iab-chair(_at_)iab(_dot_)org
The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) is seeking a candidate
to succeed Dow Street as IAB Executive Director. Dow has been
in the role for nearly 4 years and is planning to step down
due to other commitments.
We are looking for a replacement to start working with the IAB as
of January 1, 2012.
The Executive Director is a non-voting ex-officio member of the IAB
(RFC2850) who assumes, in close cooperation with the chair, the
responsibility to assist the IAB in the organization of its day-to-day
activities and workflow, and maintain the public face of the IAB.
A great deal of the work is of an administrative nature and needs to
be performed in a timely fashion. In general these tasks include:
+ Management of the preparation of the agendas
+ Collecting and tracking action items. This includes regular
round-ups of the status of the action items, IAB documents, and
liaison reports.
+ Assisting in running meetings: roll call and agenda tracking.
+ Publishing actions and correspondence of the IAB on
the IAB website.
+ Tracking and maintaining the status of IAB projects. For instance,
this includes keeping track of timelines during nominations and
confirmation (e.g. for ISOC BoT member selection or IETF IESG
confirmation) , coordinating invitations for workshops, management
of documents, etc.
+ Maintenance of the IAB website, IAB related mailing lists, and
realtime communications facilities such as the IAB jabber room
and conferencing services.
Given these tasks an Executive Director should ideally:
+ Have sufficient time available and be able to allocate that time to
IAB tasks when needed. 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 is expected to attend all IETF
meetings and IAB Retreats and Workshops (typically two per year).
The IAB has approximately 8-10 hours of teleconferences per month
which require preparation and follow-up.
+ IT management skills. The Executive Director oversees IT services
supporting the IAB as well as handling sysadmin tasks such as
administration of the IAB websites, maintenance of tools such as
Wikis, Jabber servers, conferencing facilities, email lists, etc.
+ IETF experience. The candidate is an ex-officio member and may
participate in discussion. 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.
If you are interested in the position, please send email to the
IAB Chair <iab-chair(_at_)iab(_dot_)org> explaining your interest in the job
and the abilities that you bring to it. The information will be
shared with voting members of the IAB, but will otherwise be
treated confidentially.
The IAB would like to thank Dow for his service to the community.
For the IAB,
Bernard Aboba
IAB chair
