I wanted to add to this that since I will have completed two consecutive ISOC
board terms, I am not eligible to serve a third term.
I would be happy to discuss serving on the ISOC board with anyone who is
interested in considering it.

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 4 Trustees to its Board (BoT),
with staggered 3-year terms. This requires that the IETF select one
Trustee in 2016.
This year, the IAB will select 1 person for a term beginning in mid-2016
and ending in mid-2019.
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:
* Wednesday, December 2, 2015 : Open nomination period
* Wednesday, February 17, 2016 : Close of the nomination period
* No later than March 25, 2016: IAB selection delivered to IESG for
confirmation
* No later than May 6, 2016 : Delivery of final confirmed selection
to the ISOC Elections Committee for announcement with the rest of
the new ISOC BoT slate.
Nominations

Nomination Details
------------------
Nominees should be aware that ISOC Trustees are elected to three year

in Board meetings plus conference-call meetings, as detailed by
the ISOC Bylaws:
