Introduction This specification formalizes an ad hoc practice used to provide advice to the IETF Nominating Committee (NomCom) about the operations of the IAOC (described in [RFC4071]). This document updates [RFC7437]. Proposed future changes to BCP 10 should be discussed on the public IETF NomCom discussion mailing list, at <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-nomcom>. 2. Background on 'IAOC Liaisons' to Nominating Committees When RFC 7437 [RFC7437] was approved, it explicitly charged the nominating committee with selecting and reviewing certain members of the IAOC. However, [RFC7437] did not provide for the IAOC to send a liaison to the nominating committee. This was not thought to be an obstacle because [RFC7437] allowed any committee member to propose a liaison from the IAOC: Any committee member may propose the addition of a liaison from other unrepresented organizations to participate in some or all of the deliberations of the committee. The addition must be approved by the committee according to its established voting mechanism. Liaisons participate as representatives of their respective organizations. Beginning in 2010, the IAOC provided a liaison to each nominating committee. In 2016, the IAOC did not provide a liaison because the nominating committee was not appointing an IAOC member. The previous nominating committee had filled a mid-term vacancy (using the process described in Section 3.5. of [RFC7437]) by appointing an IAOC memberShow full document text
