1. Introduction
The ICANN Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC) reviews
proposed architectural changes to the content of the DNS root zone,
the systems including both hardware and software components used in
executing changes to the DNS root zone, and the mechanisms used for
distribution of the DNS root zone, and makes recommendations to the
ICANN Board. As stipulated in [RZERC-Charter], the IETF is called
upon to name its delegate to the committee.
The IAB will select one person for a one-year term. This appointment
can be renewed for up to three additional one-year terms. This memo
outlines the process by which the IETF makes that selection.
In brief, this document describes the timeframe and procedures for
the IAB to solicit public input and make a selection for the open
position.
2. Desirable Qualifications for an IETF-Nominated RZERC Member
Candidates for the RZERC should have a demonstrable involvement in
the IETF with a particular focus on active participation in IETF
Working Groups.
The candidate is expected to possess clearly demonstrated technical
competence in Internet technology relating to the DNS root zone and
be able to articulate those technology issues such that the ICANN
Board can be provided with sound technical perspectives. The
candidate is also expected to be able to understand the respective
roles and responsibilities of the IETF and ICANN and be able to
articulate these roles within both organizational communities.
