The IAB requests that people review the IAB Job Description and provide feedback.  Any feedback should be provided to [email-masked] by Friday 19th of July.

As background, the IAB maintains a job description on its public wiki:

   https://www.iab.org/wiki/index.php/IAB_Job_Description

The IAB job description is used by the NomCom each year as part of advertising for volunteers for the position, and as input to their deliberations.  The IAB revises this job description based on experience with the role and its understanding of the needs of the body.  The document is intended to be a relatively stable description of the function, but it does change in small ways each year.

The IAB feels that the job description has not had scrutiny from a larger audience in some time. As it is important that the NomCom and prospective IAB members are properly informed of the needs of a wider community, the IAB is seeking public comment on the job description.

As a reminder, if you have feedback on specific IAB members or activities for the NomCom, you can contact the NomCom directly.  Contact information for the NomCom is found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2019/

Regards,
Martin, for the IAB
