The committee will confirm with the candidate their willingness to stand

B. Nominations Committee Selection Guidelines
Candidates for ISOC Trustee should have a demonstrable
involvement in the Internet. Such involvement may range
from participation as a technology developer, researcher,
user, network operator, policy maker (e.g., in government),
sponsor of research and development.
ISOC is interested in broadly-based representation on the
Board of Trustees and seeks to identify candidates from
industry, education and non-profit sectors and from government.
The selection criteria will be directed to selecting a broad
range of interests, and will include criteria of regional
location, current activities, relevant experience and professional
background.
Candidates should be aware that board members responsibilities
include the fiscal management of the society, fundraising, and
participation in 2 to 3 board meeting per year (one at the site
of the annual INET conference), and frequent interaction via
E-Mail. No compensation is available for either time spent or
travel costs. This is a volunteer position.
A minimum of 7 candidates, and up to 10 candidates, will be
selected by this committee, using the criteria as outlined above.
