Several years ago, the Education, Mentoring, and Outreach > Directorate (EMODIR) was created to coordinate a larger array of activities > aimed at expanding the IETF community and the productivity of its work. > Recent directorate projects have included: > > • Face-to-face and online tutorials and webinars > • Updates to educational online content > • Mentoring activities including the IETF Guides program and Quick > Connections > • WG chairs forum > > More information about the directorate is available at > https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/emodir/about/ > <https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/emodir/about/> > > Karen O’Donoghue has led the directorate since its inception, and together > with Mirjam Kuehne coordinated EDU team functions for many years. Due to job > circumstances, Mirjam stepped down from the team last year and Karen will be > stepping down as coordinator of the directorate once new coordinators have > been identified. Please join me in thanking them for their many years of > service to the community! > > Given these changes, I am seeking volunteers to be EMODIR Coordinators going > forward. Interested individuals should send email to ch...@ietf.org > <mailto:ch...@ietf.org> by October 23 at 23:59 UTC containing the following > information: > > 1. Your name > > 2. A brief summary of your experience in the IETF, including document > review and authorship, meeting attendance, and other IETF roles held > > 3. A brief summary of your experience related to education, mentoring, or > outreach in technical communities > > 4. A statement of direction for EMODIR: where would you like to see it go > and what would you like to see it do in the coming years? > > EMODIR Coordinators will be responsible for organizing the directorate’s > projects, assessing project leaders and identifying new leaders as necessary, > establishing a regular cadence of directorate meetings and communications to > keep the group aligned, working with project leads to define metrics of > success for each project, and setting up regular reviews to assess the > projects against their metrics. Finding volunteers who can dedicate time to > EMODIR activities has long been a challenge; successful Coordinators will > need to bring enthusiasm and creativity to the directorate’s work and be > willing to invest the time needed to bring in new volunteers. The expected > time commitment will be up to 4 hours per week at the outset and during busy > pre-meeting periods, and about 1 hour per week at other times. The IETF LLC > is now able to commit additional resources to support the directorate, but > the directorate’s projects will continue to be community-led. > > Although the directorate has an existing project structure, it is due for a > refresh. New Coordinators will be expected to re-assess and potentially > revamp the current project structure, in consultation with the IETF Chair. > > All those interested in volunteering to be an EMODIR Coordinator should send > email to ch...@ietf.org <mailto:ch...@ietf.org> by October 23 at 23:59 UTC as > outlined above. > > Thanks, > Alissa Cooper > IETF Chair > > > > _______________________________________________ > IETF-Announce mailing list > IETF-Announce@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
