The 2002-2003 Nominations Committee is now

Please take the time, even if it is

Members of the community are encouraged to
nominate candidates for any of the positions
which are up for re-filling:

Members of the community are encouraged to contact the nomcom confidentially
1) to nominate someone for any of these positions,
2) to provide input relating to potential candidates, or
3) to provide comments regarding the past performance of incumbents.
All of this information will be considered during the deliberations of
the nominating committee and will be held in confidence by the nominating
committee.

 

We emphasize that omments sent to the nominations committee will be kept
in confidence. As noted in RFC 2727 "all deliberations and supporting
information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed
candidates are confidential."

 

Self-nominations are accepted. The deadline for nominations is midnight
Friday, November 22, 2002.  Early input is desirable so that candidates
may be interviewed during the Atlanta IETF meeting.

 

The members of the NomCom can be contacted individually at the addresses
below or collectively at nomcom at ietf.org.  Additionally, the members of
the NomCom will be identified at the IETF by a marker (as yet undetermined)
on their name tags.  People are encouraged to take advantage of the
opportunity to talk to the members of the NomCom about nominations
and other issues related to the IAB and IESG membership.
