Abstract
The process by which the members of the IAB and IESG are selected,
confirmed, and recalled is specified. The evolution of the process
has relied principally on oral tradition as a means by which the
lessons learned could be passed on to successive committees. This
document is a self-consistent, organized compilation of the process
as it is known today.

1. Introduction
This document supercedes RFC 2027, the first complete specification of
the process by which members of the IAB and IESG are selected,
confirmed, and recalled. Prior to that time, a single paragraph in
RFC 1602 is the extent to which the process had been formally
recorded.
