Introduction   The "IAB and IESG Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process:   Operation of the Nominating and Recall Committees" document [RFC3777]   defines the nominating committee process.  On the nominating   committee, it is important to include people who have the experience   necessary to understand the IETF process: those individuals can bring   a broader perspective to the nominating committee and will help   ensure that the people it selects are better prepared to fulfill the   roles.  That said, one of the key points in the process and in the   selection of the nominating committee is that the IETF wants to avoid   having the IAB and the IESG be self-selecting.  The selection of the   nominating committee, therefore, excludes individuals who currently   serve on the bodies to which the nominating committee selects seats.RFC 3777 specifies that "sitting members" of the IAB and IESG "may   not volunteer to serve on the nominating committee".  Since the time   that document was written, the IETF Administrative Oversight   Committee (IAOC) was formed.  Some IAOC members are selected by the   nominating committee (see[RFC4071], Section 4), and that body is not   covered byRFC 3777.  There is also ambiguity inRFC 3777 about   whether ex officio members, liaisons, and such are included as   "sitting members".  This document updatesRFC 3777 to clarify the   rules as they apply to members of the IAB, the IESG, and the IAOC,   with the understanding of the intent ofRFC 3777 as outlined above.RFC 3777 does not exclude participation by working group chairs, IRTF   research group chairs, members of directorates and special review   teams, or members of other advisory bodies.  This document makes no   changes in that regard.Leiba                     Best Current Practice                 [Page 2]

RFC 6859                NomCom Eligibility Update           January 20132.  Replacement ofRFC 3777, Section 4, Rule 15   The following paragraph replacesRFC 3777, Section 4, rule 15 in its   entirety.   15.  Any person who serves on any of the Internet Society Board of   Trustees, the IAB, the IESG, or the IAOC, including those who serve   on these bodies in ex officio positions, may not volunteer to serve   as voting members of the nominating committee.  Liaisons to these   bodies from other bodies or organizations are not excluded by this   rule.3.
