To the IETF community,

One of the roles you entrusted to the Internet Society (ISOC)  
President  CEO is to appoint the IETF Nominations Committee chair.
This is done through consultation with the IETF community.


It gives me great pleasure to announce that Suresh Krishnan has agreed  
to serve as the 2011 - 2012 IETF Nominations Committee chair.


A Call for Nominations for this committee will be sent shortly to the  
IETF Announcement list; and a list of the IESG, IAB and IAOC/IETF  
Trust seats to be filled will also be published shortly.   Please give  
serious consideration to volunteering for the Nominations Committee as  
well as to possible candidates for the open positions. The NomCom  
process is central to the IETF's success, and it is important that it  
have the support of the IETF community.   In the interim, feel free to  
make your suggestions known to Suresh, who will share them with the  
committee once it is seated.  Suresh can be reached at: suresh.krish...@ericsson.com

As you might have noticed, the WebSSO Identity Management space is

running out of organizations and groups. Someone could, for

with the question why ISOC did not join the MIT Kerberos Consortium  
(see
http://www.kerberos.org/), as Kerberos is a technology developed  
within the
IETF, or to support technologies like OpenID, OAuth, etc. that are  
closer to

the Internet deployment.

I am sure your team had a lot of conversations with the IAB on what
direction would be better for the Internet (with respect to the  
creation of
an identity layer) but I fear that many in the IETF community are  
at best
not informed about what you are doing and why you believe that this  
is

heading into the right direction.


Did ISOC in fact have these discussions with the IAB? I'd be very  
interested

to hear the IAB weigh in here.

Hi Ekr and Hannes,

ISOC has been working within the IETF community as a whole on a  
variety of technical issues, and did not approach the IAB as a body  
when taking the decision to join Liberty Alliance/NewOrg.


ISOC's broad goals here seem largely to fall outside the IETF arena.   
We are working with these other communities to build a more  
transparent and open identity organization which serves the broader  
identity community, and reaches out to adopters and end-users.   We  
are, of course, very open to conversation about advancing these goals  
with any interested IETFer.  And, to be clear we are very  
supportive of the OAuth efforts and hope to see OAuth chartered in the  
IETF.


I echo Dave's original comments that this discussion is interesting  
and useful, and Leslie has provided some additional context in another  
mail.


Best,
Lynn

One of the roles of the Internet Society (ISOC) President is to
appoint the IETF Nominations Committee chair. This is done through
consultation with members of the IETF community, as well as input
from past IETF NomCom Chairs and the ISOC Board. It gives me great

IETF Nominations Committee chair. Ralph can be reached at
[EMAIL PROTECTED].

A Call for Nominations for this committee will be sent shortly to the IETF
Announcement list; and a list of the IESG and IAB seats to be filled
will also be published. In addition, I draw your attention to the fact that 
this year the NomCom will also be responsible for seating an IETF
Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) member. Please give
serious consideration to possible candidates for all these posts and
in the interim, make your suggestions known to Ralph, who will share
them with the committee when seated.

The NomCom process is an ambitious undertaking and a robust process
is critical to the health and success of the IETF. It is therefore
important that the IETF community assist Ralph and the NomCom to as
great a degree as possible. I'd like to thank everyone in advance
for their support, and a sincere thank you to Ralph for agreeing to
