This is a reminder that the 2012-2013 Nominating Committee (NomCom)
is seeking nominations from now until September 24, 2012 .
Additionally, this is an announcement that the NomCom is seeking
feedback on individuals who have accepted nominations for IETF
leadership positions. As we are following the advice of RFC 5680, the list
of individuals who have agreed to be considered for various positions can
be found on the NomCom Community Feedback Tool:
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/input
Within the coming weeks, we will be updating the list of individuals we
are considering for each position as more individuals accept nominations.
All feedback provided to the NomCom about these individuals is kept
strictly confidential (as per RFC 3777). Your honest
feedback is very important to the NomCom process.
The open positions being considered by this year's NomCom can be found
at the end of this email or on the NomCom 2012-2013 website:
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/
Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of
the NomCom 2012-2013 website or by visiting the following URL:
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/nominate
Note that nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org (i.e.,
datatracker) account. You can create an ietf.org account by visiting the
following URL:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/
Nominations may also be made by email to nomcom12(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.
If you do so, please include the word "Nominate" in the Subject and
indicate in the email who is being nominated, their email address (to
confirm acceptance of the nomination), and the position for which you
are making the nomination. If you wish to nominate someone via email
for more than one position, please use separate emails to do so.
Self nomination is welcome.
NomCom 2012-2013 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing
Nominees" described in RFC 5680. As stated in RFC 5680: "The list of
nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the
current NomCom cycle is not confidential". Willing Nominees for each
position will be publicly listed.
With the exception of publicly listing willing nominees, the
confidentiality requirements of RFC 3777 remain in effect. All
feedback and NomCom deliberations will remain confidential and
will not be disclosed.
In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about
each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the
NomCom on or before September 24, 2012.
The NomCom appoints individuals to fill the open slots on the
IAOC, the IAB, and the IESG. This year, the NomCom willing be filling the

However, we also need the community's views and input on the jobs
within each organization. If you have ideas on job responsibilities
(more, less, different), please let us know. Please send suggestions
and feedback to nomcom12(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.
Thank you for your help in identifying qualified nominees, and in providing
feedback about individuals we are considering for IETF leadership positions.
