The IAB and IESG followed the process outlined in
draft-iab-iaoc-selection-01.txt, carefully reviewing all
candidates in the light of the criteria outlined in
draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-07.txt [*], and determined that
Lucy and Kurtis, both members of the IASA transition team,
were the best fit across the criteria.

With these appointments and ISOC's concurrent announcement
of their selection, the initial IAOC is now "live",
and the IASA structure is instantiated. The initial
IAOC, which also includes the IETF Chair, the IAB Chair,
and the ISOC President as ex officio members, will be seated
at the first regular business meeting, scheduled for
Thursday, April 7.

We have put in a request to the IETF Secretariat to create
a mailing list to address the IAOC -- when that is created,
you will be able to send messages directly to the IAOC
at

iaoc@ietf.org


Leslie and Brian,
for the IAB & IESG.

[* from draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-07.txt:]

" While there are no hard rules regarding how the IAB and the IESG
should select members of the IAOC, such appointees need not be
current IAB or IESG members (and probably should not be, if only to
avoid overloading the existing leadership). The IAB and IESG should
choose people with some knowledge of contracts and financial
procedures, who are familiar with the administrative support needs of
the IAB, the IESG, or the IETF standards process. The IAB and IESG
should follow a fairly open process for these selections, perhaps
with an open call for nominations or a period of public comment on
the candidates. "
