Folks,
The nomcom has finished the IESG member selection process and the IAB
has confirmed the following individuals for a two-year term as IESG
members.
Lisa Dusseault, Applications Area
Jari Arkko, Internet Area
Dan Romascanu, Operations and Management Area
Cullen Jennings, Real-time Applications and Infrastructure Area
Ross Callon, Routing Area
Pasi Eronen, Security Area
Magnus Westerlund, Transport Area
The nomcom thanks them for agreeing to serve as area directors until the
first IETF meeting in 2010.
The nomcom reviewed the IESG's requirements, nominees' questionnaire
responses and community feedback on the nominees, and after careful
deliberations, and some interviews, selected the candidates. In the
security area, the IESG's posted requirements and the nomcom's
understanding of the community's consensus requirements were different
and our selections were according to the community's consensus
requirements for the position.
The nomcom also thanks all the nominees who agreed to be considered for
the different positions. We understand that the nomcom process takes a
long time and we appreciate everyone's patience from the nominations to
selections phase.
