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. Galvin Best Current Practice
