Hello ALTO, As you all know, we are approaching completion of the milestones for the working group, and starting discussion of a new charter. Vijay and Jan will step down when these milestones are complete, after years of diligent service to the IETF and the working group. Thanks Vijay and Jan!
I would like there to be a third chair at IETF 109 as a transitional step, to allow at least one of them to exit soon after the meeting. I believe it is appropriate for at least one of the future chairs to come from the ALTO community, and have no objection to both doing so. While I don't expect the next chairs to meet of all of the requirements below, an ideal candidate would: - intend to serve at least 2 years in the position; - plan to attend IETF meetings in person, whenever that starts happening again; - understand how to run a meeting and motivate volunteers from diverse backgrounds; - exercise good judgment about document progress, consensus, etc.; - have basic understanding of the technology and use cases under development; - constructively manage conflict when it arises; and - not expect to constantly recuse themselves due to authorship of most or all of the documents under consideration. The bureaucratic workflow management is really not hard, and I encourage people to apply even if they don't know all of the buttons in datatracker, etc. Chairing is a way to serve the community and identify yourself as a leader in a small piece of the future internet. I try hard to also make it fun and not especially time consuming. *If you're interested in being a chair, or have questions about the position, please email me privately and we can arrange a chat. I'm sure Vijay or Jan would also be happy to answer questions. I would hope to identify a chair by early November.* Thanks for your consideration! Regards, Martin Duke Responsible Area Director
