Technical Summary
This document updates RFC 3777 by adding the IAOC to the list of
bodies whose sitting members are ineligible to serve on the Nominating
Committee (NomCom). This document also clarifies that "sitting
members" includes those in ex-officio positions; however, liaisons
from other bodies are not excluded from serving on NomCom.
This document reflects the way that the IETF has been working. By
making this update to RFC 3777, the documentation of the formal
process is catching up to the way that it is actually operated. This
document actually updates a single sentence in RFC 3777.
Working Group Summary
This document is not the product of any IETF WG.
Document Quality
This document was discussed on the IETF discussion list and on the
ietf-nomcom mailing list. A design team made up of ex-NomCom Chairs
also reviewed the document. IAB, IESG and IAOC members, Jim Galvin,
and other several long-standing IETF participants reviewed previous
versions of the document. The general sense is to exclude as few
people as necessary to avoid a self-selecting leadership, and the
document reflects that perspective.
Personnel
Russ Housley is the responsible AD.
S. Moonesamy is the document shepherd.
