The Trustees of the IETF Trust took two actions today:
1. Removed the current IETF Trust Chair
2. Elected a new IETF Trust Chair
The Trustees passed the following resolution removing Marshal Eubanks as Trust
Chair:
RESOLUTION
After consideration of the lack of participation by the Trust Chair in Trust
matters for a
period in excess of two months, and the failure of the Chair to respond to
repeated
attempts to contact him, the Trustees hereby remove Marshall Eubanks as the
IETF
Trust Chair effective 25 October at 10:15 AM EDT.
The resolution passed with seven of the nine votes, with two absentees, which
included
Marshall.
The Trustees took this action pursuant to the authority in the Trust
Administrative
Procedures (adopted 4-17-08)
<http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/Trust_Procedures_2008.pdf>, which states:
The Chair serves at the pleasure of the Trustees and may be removed
from that
position at any time by the Trustees.
Notice of the Trust meeting and its Agenda that specifically included Trust

Following this action the Trustees elected Ole Jacobsen as the Chair of the
IETF Trust

2013.
We appreciate Ole's volunteering for this position.
The Trustees thank Marshall for his contribution to the Trust as a Trustee and
