Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:38:27 -0400

The IAB has just notified the ITU-T that Deborah Brungard will be the new IETF Liaison Manager to the ITU-T for MPLS. Deborah was appointed following an open call for volunteers (see email from Scott Mansfield to the IETF list on Fri 3/29/2013 4:32 PM EDT). Please congratulate Deborah when you see her. 

Please thank Scott Mansfield for his past service in this role.  Scott is now the overall liaison manager to ITU-T, and as such I am confident that he will provide valuable support for Deborah.

Thanks,
Russ

> The IETF-ITU-T MPLS liaison role helps facilitate communication between the IETF and the ITU-T on matters of MPLS.  The MPLS liaison manager is responsible for ensuring the liaisons from the IETF on MPLS are routed to the correct study group(s) in the ITU-T and any incoming liaison from the ITU-T on MPLS is communicated to the proper working groups, usually MPLS, CCAMP, and PWE3 working groups.
