The IAB has been deliberating the selection of the liaison from the IETF
community to ICANN Board over the past several weeks. The IAB was very pleased
to have a strong set of candidates. We very much appreciate the willingness of
so many talented people to serve the community in this position.
The IAB has selected Jonne Soininen for this position, replacing Thomas Narten.
The IAB extends our sincere thanks to Thomas for serving the community for so
long in this role. Thomas has done a fantastic job.
The IAB extends our sincere thanks to Jonne for agreeing to serve in this
position. We are sure that Jonne will do a fantastic job going forward.
Thomas and Jonne will be working out the transition of this role during the
month of April.
On behalf of the IAB,
Russ Housley
IAB Chair
