The Internet Society (ISOC) provides organizational and financial support for the IETF. As part of the arrangements between ISOC and the IETF, the IETF is called upon to name 3 Trustees to its Board, with staggered 3 year terms. This requires that the IETF select one Trustee each year.
A description of the IAB’s process for selecting the Trustee each year can be found in RFC3677.
Nominations (including self-nominations) should be sent to the IAB —
iab@ietf.org. Please include e-mail contact details with the
nomination.
The nominations period closes February 22.
