Gabriel Montenegro is stepping down as a co-chair of MIPSHOP, after having served years in this role and having taken the first incarnation of the WG to its successful conclusion (thank you Gabriel!).
The Area Directors are now looking for a new co-chair to work with Stefano Faccin, who remains as the other co-chair. We have decided to make this announcement in order to ensure that all the potential candidates are aware of the open position. Please find below a brief profile for the co-chair. We would like you to consider this profile and either nominate yourself or other people that you think that would fit well in this role. Send the nominations by e-mail to me. Note that this profile is written for a somewhat ideal candidate. We fully realize that such people are probably non-existent, so don't hesitate to nominate somebody who in your opinion would fit this role quite well but doesn't fit this profile 100%. And the intent is to select a person so that the co-chairs can complement each other and work together. As for the profile: - Good management and process skills, including but not limited to choosing and supervising editors, commitment and follow-through on the charter, active management of the working group discussions, and handling IETF process steps in prompt fashion. - Good knowledge of the IP mobility problem space and protocols. - Good understanding of scope, candidate proposals and work-in-progress in MIPSHOP. - Enough available time. For example, preferable not more than one other working chair role in IETF. - There is no requirement that the candidate has been an IETF working group chair before. Indeed, we want to train new chairs and let people grow into this role. But it helps if there is some evidence that the candidate can fulfill such a role (e.g., other management roles outside the IETF etc.) We would like to receive your comments & nominations by August 7th, 2006 and we plan to make a decision as soon as possible thereafter. It will be helpful if you indicate in your nomination mail how you or the nominated candidate fits this profile. We do not intend to disclose the names of the nominees in public, but we may solicit feedback from a few selected people. If you have a problem with your name being mentioned in this context, let us know.
