The 2000 IETF Nominations Committee has now completed the task of recommending a replacement for the Routing AD slot vacated by the passing of Abha Ahuja, and the IAB has now approved the recommendation.
Please join us in welcoming Bill Fenner as IESG Routing Area Director. A word of thanks The RFC 2727 Interim Vacancy process, once invoked, requires the nomcom to complete its deliberations in a short period of time. This required the 2000 nomcom members to put in an intense effort in order to complete the task. Their patience and energy has been much appreciated. I would also like to thank those individuals who agreed to be considered for the Routing AD position, and therefore had to complete their applications in such a short time frame. We hope that the brevity of the Interim Vacancy process does not dissuade you from continuing as a candidate for the other Routing AD slot that is being filled by the 2001 nomcom. The IETF needs you. Our best wishes to Bill for success in the years ahead, The 2000 Nominations Committee Phil Roberts Stuart Cheshire Perry E. Metzger Bill Woodcock Hadriel Kaplan Alain Durand Vijay Srinivasan Hal Sandick David Robinson David Allan Non-voting members: Bernard Aboba (Chair) Avri Doria (Past Chair) Leslie Daigle (IAB Liason) Allison Mankin (IESG Liason) The role of non-voting members (from RFC 2727) The nominations committee comprises at least a non-voting Chair, 10 voting volunteers, and 3 non-voting liaisons. The sitting IAB and IESG members each appoint a non-voting liaison to the nominating committee from their current membership who are not sitting in an open position. The Chair of the prior year's nominating committee also serves as a non-voting liaison.
