SM and I have merged our 3777 update proposals, and we have posted the
merged version. This is BCCed to the NomCom discussion list; please
take discussion of this to the main IETF discussion list now.
Reminder: the primary purpose of this is to add the IAOC to some of
the points in RFC 3777, since 3777 pre-dates the formation of the
IAOC. Some of the IAOC-related processed are described in RFC 4333,
so this doesn't cover everything -- but it adds the IAOC to what we
think is appropriate. It also incorporates the one Verified erratum
against 3777, and clarifies that a few other people should not be
eligible to volunteer for the NomCom -- in practical matters, it has
little effect, because most of them would not be volunteering anyway.
We aim to ask Russ to AD-sponsor this soon. Further discussion is open.

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.
