I understand technical skills are very important, but they comprise most of the list. There is mention of "and this requires good soft skills" but I wonder if we can say something more concrete?
How about "management experience" ? Without detracting from the technical requirements, in my opinion given an AD role soft skills are as important. ADs should have "strong soft skills". This is a good opportunity to balance things a bit more. thanks, Reinaldo ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Spencer Dawkins [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 7:13 PM To: Jim Gettys Cc: Martin Stiemerling; [email protected] Subject: Re: Feedback request: The desired expertise of a Transport Area Director (updated) On 7/16/2013 7:38 PM, Jim Gettys wrote: On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 6:40 PM, Joe Touch <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I would suggest rewording it to avoid repeated reference to congestion, and include these other issues: A Transport AD should have a broad understanding of core end-to-end transport topics such as congestion, control loops and hysteresis, flow control, reliability issues, connection issues, and interactions with the network layer, the application layer, and middleboxes.
