[Ietf-keyprov] KeyProv WG Chair Nominations

[Russ Housley]

The charter text that was developed on this list is on the agenda for 
discussion at the next IESG Telechat, which will take place on 
January 11th.  Based on the overwhelming consensus to do this work 
that was demonstrated at the BOF, I do not expect lengthy discussion.

The next step will be IETF-wide discussion of the proposed charter 
text.  That discussion will last two weeks.  At the end of the 
discussion period, the charter will again appear on the IESG Telechat 
agenda, this time for WG Creation approval.  We need to have 
candidates for the WG Chair positions before we reach this point.

The O&M Area has been very successful in selecting WG Chairs through 
a nominations process.  We are trying in this yet-to-be-formed WG.  I 
hope we are as successful as the O&M Area.

The qualifications for chair of the KeyProv WG are:
* Familiarity with IETF process
* Solid understanding of key management
* Experience building consensus
* Good at finding common ground in the face of disagreement
* Demonstrated ability to manage technical contributors

Please send nominations for KeyProv WG Chair to me by January 8th.  I 
plan to select two co-chairs.

Thanks,
   Russ
