RFC 5078: IAB and IESG Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Revision of the Nominating and Recall Committees Timeline

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7437.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 8713 — IAB, IESG, IETF Trust, and IETF LLC Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of the IETF Nominating and Recall Committees

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

RFC 3777 defines the Nominations and Recall Committee's (NomCom's) operation, and includes a sample timeline for major steps in the NomCom process that meets the minimum normative requirements for the process. Recent NomComs have been scheduling based on the sample timeline, and the chairs of the last three NomComs -- Danny McPherson (2004-2005), Ralph Droms (2005-2006), and Andrew Lange (2006-2007) -- have all reported that this timeline is very aggressive and suggested starting earlier. This document restructures the sample timeline, but makes no normative process changes. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
