1. Introduction
The IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom) is a body that selects
candidates for open IESG, IAB, and IAOC positions following the
process outlined in [RFC3777]. There is a need for a set of tools to
aid the NomCom in efficient operation. This document presents a set
of requirements for such a tool.
1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Meta Requirement
There is an existing tool for supporting NomCom work. The set of
requirements specified in this document are mainly enhancement
requirements or behavioral changes to the existing tool. Unless
otherwise stated, all of the current functions of the existing NomCom
tool need to be supported in the new tool as well.
o META-001: The tool MUST provide all the functionality that is
provided by the current NomCom tool, except in cases where a
requirement specified in this document overrides a current
behavior. The current NomCom tool can be found at the following
URLs: https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/private/ displays the
NomCom private parts of the tool (Private NomCom tool) and
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/ displays the community
member accessible parts of the tool (Public NomCom tool).
