Nomcom 2011-2012: Second Call for Volunteers
This is the Second call for Volunteers for the 2011-12 Nomcom.  We are
just about halfway through the volunteer period so if you are considering
volunteering, please do so very soon. 

We have had a very good response to the initial call for volunteers and
I am pleased to report that we have 50 volunteers thus far whose
qualifications have been confirmed by the secretariat. I have notified
each of these volunteers by email.  

However, we would like to have many more volunteers. The more volunteers,
the better chance we have of choosing a random yet representative cross 
section of the IETF population. You have until 11:59 pm EDT July 10, 2011 
to volunteer for Nomcom but it would be much better if you can volunteer 
as early as possible. 

If you volunteered before 21:00 EDT on June 21 to serve as a voting member
and have not received a confirmation email from me, please re-submit and 
bring to my attention right away!
   
Details about the process for volunteering for the Nomcom and the list 
of open positions for which the nominating committee is responsible are
summarized in the initial announcement:

The primary activity for this nomcom will begin during IETF-81 in
Quebec City and should be completed by January 2012. The nomcom will
be collecting requirements from the community, as well as talking to
candidates and to community members about candidates. There will be
regularly scheduled conference calls to ensure progress. Thus, being a
nomcom member does require some time commitment.
 
Please volunteer by sending an email to me before 
11:59 pm EDT July 10, 2011 as follows:

To: suresh.krishnan@ericsson.com
Subject: Nomcom 2011-12 Volunteer

Please include the following information in the body of the mail:

Full Name:  // As you enter in the IETF Registration Form,
            // First/Given name followed by Last/Family Name

Current Primary Affiliation: // typically what goes in the Company 
                             // field in the IETF Registration Form

Email Address(es): // all email addresses used to Register for the 
                   // past 5 IETF meetings
		   // Please designate a Preferred email address for
                   // contact if there is more than one email address

Telephone number:  // With country code (for confirmation if selected)

Please expect an email response from me within 3 business days stating
whether or not you are qualified.  If you do not receive a response in
this timeframe, please re-send your email with the tag "RESEND:" added
to the subject line.

If you are not yet sure you would like to volunteer, please consider
that Nomcom members play a very important role in shaping the
leadership of the IETF.  Ensuring the leadership of the IETF is fair
and balanced and comprised of those who can lead the IETF in the right
direction is an important responsibility that rests on the IETF
participants at large. Volunteering for the Nomcom is a good way of
contributing in that direction.

I will be publishing a more detailed target timetable, as well as
details of the randomness seeds to be used for the RFC 3797 selection
process within the next few days.

Thank you in advance for your participation.
