Re: [RRG] Process for picking new RRG Co-chair
Hi,
As indicated in the note, I solicited statements from anyone
interested in co-chairing the RRG.
I received one statement of interest from Deep Medhi. His statement
can be found at:
http://psg.com/~avri/irtf/D.Medhi-statement.html
I especially invite comments on two things:
- Personal comments can be made to me via email or via skype
- In Deep's statement, 5 specific directions are mentioned for the
RRG. As the RRG has been rather quiet except for the topology
analysis work being done in FS sub-group, I would like to hear what
people think about the future directions for the RRG. This can be a
broad ranging a discussion as the group wishes, but I recommend
starting from the indications given by Deep in his note. Of course I
invite him to fully participate in this hopefully open conversation
on the RRG and on where we should go from here. My observations is
that there is obviously a need for Internet routing research and that
there is routing research being done, but that lately this RG has not
been a factor in that research. My question regards what role this
group can play in that research.
As far as the co-chair selection process goes, in about 2 weeks,
Aaron, as chair of the IRTF, and I will have a talk and decide on the
co-chair position. We expect to have a chat with Deep before that
happens and will take into account any discussion or private notes I
receive in the next 2 weeks.
thanks

Hi,
As I mentioned in an earlier note, I need to find a new co-chair
for the RRG.
Part of my hopes with Dan had been to get more involvement from the
academic community. I think that is still important and something
that would benefit the research group and its efforts to understand
possible solution paths for Internet routing.
After discussions with Aaron, some of the IRSG members, and various
others I plan on the following process:
-- Over the next 2 weeks I invite anyone who is interested in
volunteering as my co-chair to send me a note to that effect. I
would ask that this note include some paragraphs about what you
would like to see the RRG do, how you think you can help it happen
and some statement as your ability to put some time into research
group activities. I would like to ask anyone who thinks they know
a good candidate to get in touch with them and convince them to
send in such a note indicating interest.
-- I will collect these statements and put them on a web page mid
month, and invite the participants in the RRG list to comment on
the candidates confidentially either via email or Skype or whatever.
-- After approximately 2 weeks for comment, I will discuss the
candidates with Aaron and some of the members of the IRSG and
communicate with the candidates. At that point I hope we can come
to agreement on a co-chair. After Aaron has gone through any
necessary IAB process, the new co-chair will be announced to the list.
I hope to have all this done before IETF67 where I am planning to
request a meeting slot for the RRG. More about that in another note.
Note: I will be working on a research project in the mountains of
Arctic Sweden (in the vicinity of N67.54117, E17.19303) from 5 Aug
to 14 Aug and do not expect to respond to any RRG email during that
time. I hope to come back mid August to find some indications of
interest in my mailbox.
thanks
