administrative side of the IETF, let us know!

Ole Jacobsen is the IAOC member that was appointed by the IESG, and his
two-year term is up in March. The IESG is starting the process to fill this
seat in March 2014, with the term ending in March 2016.
The IESG is responsible for filling one seat every other year. BCP 101 says:
The IAOC shall consist of eight voting members who shall be selected as
follows:
o Two members appointed by the IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom);
o One member appointed by the IESG;
o One member appointed by the IAB;
o One member appointed by the ISOC Board of Trustees;
o The IETF Chair (ex officio);
o The IAB Chair (ex officio);
o The ISOC President/CEO (ex officio).
Current IAOC members can be found at http://iaoc.ietf.org/members.html
DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA
Candidates for the IAOC position should have a demonstrable involvement in
the IETF, knowledge of contracts and financial procedures, awareness of the
administrative support needs of the IAB, the IESG, and the IETF standards
process. The candidate is also expected to understand the respective roles
and responsibilities of the IETF and ISOC in IASA, and be able to articulate
these roles within the IETF community.
The candidate must be able to exercise all the duties of an IAOC member,
including fiduciary responsibilities, setting of policies, oversight of the
administrative operations of the IETF, representing the interests of the
IETF, and participating in IAOC meetings and activities.
The candidate must be able to serve as a Trustee for the IETF Trust.
Although the IESG selects this member of the IAOC, the selected member does
not directly represent the IESG. The IESG-selected member is accountable
directly to the IETF community.
NOMINATIONS AND ELIGIBILITY
The IESG is making a public call for nominations. Self-nominations are
permitted. All IETF participants, including working group chairs, IETF
NomCom members, IAB members, and IESG members are eligible for nomination.
Of course, IESG members who accept nomination will recuse themselves from
selection discussions. Please send nominations to iesg at ietf.org. Please
include the following with each nomination:
o Name
o Contact information
o Candidate background and qualifications
SELECTION
The IESG will publish the list of nominated persons prior to making a
decision, allowing time for the community to provide any relevant comments to
the IESG.
The IESG will review the nomination material, any comments provided by the
community, and make a selection.
CARE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The following procedures will be used in managing candidates' personal
information:
o The list of candidate names will be published at the close of the
nominations period. A candidate that refuses the nomination will not be
included on the list.
o Except as noted above, all information provided to the IESG during this
process will be kept as confidential to the IESG.
TIMEFRAME
The two-week nominations period will open on 9 December 2013, and close on 24
December 2013.
The list of candidates will be posted shortly after the nominations close,
and the community will have two weeks (after the holiday period) to provide
comments on the candidates to the IESG.
The IESG will make a selection on the IESG telechat following the comment
period.
On behalf of the IESG,

IESG Chair
