For vacancies due to uncontested, sustained absence, the IETF body
making that determination will issue an Extended Last Call to the
community.
Where is "Extended Last Call" defined? There should be a citation thither,
or a definition here.
RFC 2026 section 9.1
The proposed variance must detail the problem perceived, explain the
precise provision of this document which is causing the need for a
variance, and the results of the IESG's considerations including
consideration of points (a) through (d) in the previous paragraph.
The proposed variance shall be issued as an Internet Draft. The IESG
shall then issue an extended Last-Call, of no less than 4 weeks, to
allow for community comment upon the proposal.
