IAB and IESG Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of the Nominating and Recall Committees
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 2282 IAB and IESG Selection February 1998
This revision is based on the experience of the 1996 Nominating
Committee, the first committee to operate according to RFC 2027. The
following two assumptions of that specification are also true for
this revision.
(1) The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) and Internet Research
Steering Group (IRSG) are not a part of the process described
here.
(2) The organization (and re-organization) of the IESG is not a
part of the process described here.
The time frames specified here use IETF meetings as a frame of
reference. The time frames assume that the IETF meets at least once
per year with that meeting occurring during the North American Spring
time, i.e., the IETF meets at least on or about March of each year.
The remainder of this document is divided into four major topics as
follows.
General
This a set of rules and constraints that apply to the selection
and confirmation process as a whole.
Nominating Committee Selection
This is the process by which volunteers from the IETF community
are recognized to serve on the committee that nominates
candidates to serve on the IESG and IAB.
Nominating Committee Operation
This is the set of principles, rules, and constraints that guide
the activities of the nominating committee, including the
confirmation process.
Member Recall
This is the process by which the behavior of a sitting member of
the IESG or IAB may be questioned, perhaps resulting in the
removal of the sitting member.
A final section describes how this document differs from its
predecessor: RFC 2027.
2. General
The following set of rules apply to the selection and confirmation
process as a whole. If necessary, a paragraph discussing the
interpretation of each rule is included.
