Re: [RFC 3777 Update for Vacancies]

2012-10-24 15:46:16

I see several issues .... 

a) To my reading RFC 3777 only deals with IAB and IESG membership
b) Neither this draft nor 3777 defines 'IETF body' 
c) Consindering that someone would be a member until removed, and
   assuming IAOC is meant to be considered an IETF body, 2/3 of
   members approving could be sticky at some point if 2/3 of
   the members aren't available to vote.
d) We need a better definition of 'sustained' absence ... e.g., 
   a minimum period of time, number of regularily scheduled
   'meetings' missed, no response to queries.
e) "Multiple different queries" ... needs more precision as it
   is satisfied as stated by 2 emails sent at the same time to
   the same destination. This section may require an adjustment
   to the sort of contact information required for each position
   covered by this process.

A new Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. 
 
Title : RFC 3777 Update for Vacancies 
Author(s) : D. Crocker, et al 
Filename : draft-ietf-genarea-bcp10upd 
Pages : 4  
Date : Oct. 24, 2012  
 
BCP 10 (RFC 3777) specifies IETF processes for selection, 
confirmation and recall of appointees to IETF positions. It also 
refers to the mechanism of resignation as part of a sequence that 
moves a sitting member to a new IETF position. However it does not 
more generally deal with vacancies created by resignation, death or 
uncontested, sustained absence from participation. This update to 
BCP 10 specifies procedures for handling vacancies.
