The 2002-2003 Nominations Committee is now
soliciting nominations for the open

Please take the time, even if it is
only a few moments, to send us your
thoughts.

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 (please provide the email
address of any nominee), 
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 comments 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 [email-masked].  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.

The role of non-voting members (from RFC 2727):

10 voting volunteers, and 3 non-voting liaisons.  The sitting IAB

committee from their current membership who are not sitting in an 
open position.  The Chair of the prior year's nominating committee 
also serves as a non-voting liaison.
