The IAB (on behalf of the IETF) has been asked to supply a member to the  2019 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) by 24 August 2018. Last year,  Ole Jacobsen did the job for the IETF community, and he is willing to  serve again.

The IAB would like to solicit comments from the community on Ole  Jacobsen on the ICANN NomCom. While the ICANN NomCom process itself is  confidential, the IAB believes that asking for feedback on this  appointment is important for transparency.

Please send comments to iab-chair@iab.org and execd@iab.org.

We would appreciate receiving comments by Tuesday, 21 August 2018, as  the IAB will begin the next steps in this appointment process shortly so  that the ICANN NomCom member can attend the first formal meeting of the  2019 NomCom in Barcelona in October 2018.
