Re: IAOC Request for community feedback

Since you have his postal address, has anyone notified the police?

The IAOC is requesting feedback from the community concerning a
vacancy that the IAOC feels is not adequately covered by existing IETF
rules.

Marshall Eubanks has been a active IETF participant for many years and
a member of the IAOC since 2009. However, he recently stopped
participating in the IAOC and Trust. The IAOC has made extensive
efforts to contact Marshall about this, but has not received any
response. Given the size of the IAOC, a missing member makes it much
harder to get a quorum. The specifics of his absence include:

- Missed the IAOC calls on 11 October 2012, 10 September 2012,
   6 September 2012, 23 August 2012

- No email received from Marshall since 1 August 2012 on the IAOC,
   IETF Trust, and related private lists.

Marshall is subscribed to the IAOC and IETF Trust lists and
consequently should have received email discussing regular
IAOC/Trust business including email on this topic.

We have tried to contact Marshall over this time period using email 14
times, telephone 6 times (leaving messages), SMS messages seven times,
Linkedin messages once, Facebook messages once, and registered postal
mail twice. We have not received any response from Marshall. It is
also our understanding that Marshall has stopped participating in
other IETF lists and stopped working on IDs he authored.

On 6 September 2012 the IAOC appointed a replacement liaison to the
IETF NomCom after learning from the NomCom chair that Marshall had not
responded to emails from the NomCom chair.

Based on all of this, the IAOC has concluded that Marshall's IAOC position
is vacant.

Seems to be a solid conclusion.
