Re: New Version Notification for draft-leiba-3777upd-eligibility-00.txt

2012-07-30 20:05:01
I have just posted the draft cited below, to adjust the NomCom
eligibility rules to make the following change:

RFC 3777 excludes from eligibility as NomCom volunteers:
   - members of the ISOC Board of Trustees
   - "sitting members" of the IAB
   - "sitting members" of the IESG

The IAOC did not exist when that was written, and there are questions
about who, exactly, are "sitting members".

This draft excludes from eligibility as NomCom volunteers:
   - members of the ISOC Board of Trustees
   - "sitting members" of the IAB
   - "sitting members" of the IESG
   - "sitting members" of the IAOC

This draft clarifies that those exclusions:
   - DO include the ex-officio members
   - DO NOT include the liaisons (unless, of course, they're excluded
by another rule)

This draft also excludes from eligibility as NomCom volunteers paid employees:
   - the Secretariat
   - the RFC Editor

Comments, please.

Title:           Update to RFC 3777 to Clarify Nominating Committee 
Eligibility of IETF Leadership

Abstract:
   RFC 3777 specifies that "sitting members" of the IAB and IESG "may
   not volunteer to serve on the nominating commitee".  Since that
   document was written the IAOC was formed, and that body is not
   covered by RFC 3777.  There is also uncertainty about whether ex-
   officio members and liaisons are included as "sitting members".  This
   document clarifies those situations.
