L.S.
The Internet Society (ISOC) provides organizational and financial
support for the IETF. As part of the arrangements between ISOC and the
IETF, the IETF is called upon to name 3 Trustees to its Board (BoT),
with staggered 3 year terms. This requires that the IETF select one
Trustee each year.
This year, the IAB will select one person for a term ending in mid
2014.
A description of the IAB's process for selecting the Trustee each year
can be found in RFC3677.

* April 7 or before : IAB selection delivered to IESG for confirmation

Elections Committee for announcement with the rest
of the new ISOC BoT slate.
