The Internet Society (ISOC) provides organizational and financial support for
the IETF. As part of the arrangements between ISOC and the IETF, the IETF is
called upon to name 3 Trustees to its Board (BoT), with staggered 3 year
terms. This requires that the IETF select one Trustee each year.
This year, the IAB will select one person for a term ending in mid-2017.
A description of the IAB's process for selecting the Trustee each year can be
found in RFC 3677, with this year's timeline as follows:
* January 30, 2014 : Open nomination period
* February 27, 2014 : Close of the nomination period
* No later than April 10, 2014 : IAB selection delivered to IESG for
confirmation
* No later than May 23, 2014 : Delivery of final confirmed selection to the
ISOC Elections Committee for announcement with the rest of the new ISOC BoT
slate.
