Dear colleagues,
I've now had more than one person ask me about this, and since the
NomCom report raises the issue of employer support I think
transparency requires that I say something.
While I never planned to stand for IAB chair again this year, I did
submit my candidacy for reappointment to the IAB. Unfortunately, due
to some uncertaintly in my personal circumstances before the NomCom
rendered its decision, I had to withdraw my name from consideration at
the last minute. To be clear, my current employer did not withdraw
support for my activities in the IETF. I apologise to those who spent
their time sending comments assuming my commitment to stand, when it
turned out I could not follow through on that commitment.
Best regards,
A
