This document is a revision of and supercedes BCP 10. It is in essence a republishing of [RFC3777] and the other RFCs that updated that document into a single specification. The result is a complete specification of the process by which members of the IAB and IESG, and some members of the IAOC, are selected, confirmed, and recalled as of the date of its approval.
本文件是BCP 10的修订版，取代BCP 10。本质上，是[RFC3777]和其他RFC的重新发布，将该文件更新为单个规范。其结果是一个完整的流程规范，通过该流程，IAB和IESG的成员以及IAOC的一些成员在其批准之日被挑选、确认和召回。
Section 4 of [RFC4071] provides further details about the IAOC positions that are filled by the nominating committee.
[RFC4071]第4节提供了有关提名委员会填补的IAOC职位的更多详细信息。
The following two assumptions continue to be true of this specification:
以下两个假设仍然适用于本规范：
1. The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) and Internet Research Steering Group (IRSG) are not a part of the process described here.
1. 互联网研究特别工作组（IRTF）和互联网研究指导小组（IRSG）不是本文所述过程的一部分。
2. The organization (and reorganization) of the IESG is not a part of the process described here.
2. IESG的组织（和重组）不是本文所述过程的一部分。
The time frames specified here use IETF meetings as a frame of reference. The time frames assume that the IETF meets three times per calendar year with approximately equal amounts of time between them. The meetings are referred to as the First IETF, Second IETF, or Third IETF as needed.
此处规定的时间框架使用IETF会议作为参考框架。时间框架假设IETF每日历年召开三次会议，其间的时间大致相等。根据需要，这些会议被称为第一IETF、第二IETF或第三IETF。
The next section lists the words and phrases commonly used throughout this document with their intended meaning.
下一节列出了本文档中常用的单词和短语及其预期含义。
The majority of this document is divided into four major topics as follows:
本文件的大部分内容分为以下四个主要主题：
General: This is a set of rules and constraints that apply to the selection and confirmation process as a whole.
概述：这是一组适用于整个选择和确认过程的规则和约束。
Nominating Committee Selection: This is the process by which the volunteers who will serve on the committee are selected.
提名委员会甄选：这是甄选将在委员会任职的志愿者的过程。
Nominating Committee Operation: This is the set of principles, rules, and constraints that guide the activities of the nominating committee, including the confirmation process.
提名委员会运作：这是一套指导提名委员会活动的原则、规则和约束，包括确认过程。
Member Recall: This is the process by which the behavior of a sitting member of the IAOC, IESG, or IAB may be questioned, perhaps resulting in the removal of the sitting member.
成员召回：这是对IAOC、IESG或IAB现任成员的行为提出质疑的过程，可能导致现任成员被免职。
A final section describes how this document differs from its predecessor [RFC3777].
最后一节介绍了本文件与其前身[RFC3777]的不同之处。
An appendix of useful facts and practices collected from previous nominating committees is also included.
还包括从以前的提名委员会收集的有用事实和做法的附录。
The following words and phrases are commonly used throughout this document. They are listed here with their intended meaning for the convenience of the reader.
本文件中通常使用以下词语和短语。为了方便读者，这里列出了它们的预期含义。

候选人：经确认机构考虑确认的被提名人。
confirmed candidate: A candidate that has been reviewed and approved by a confirming body.
确认候选人：经确认机构审查和批准的候选人。
nominating committee term: The term begins when its members are officially announced, which is expected to be prior to the Third IETF to ensure it is fully operational at the Third IETF. The term ends at the Third IETF (not three meetings) after the next nominating committee's term begins.
提名委员会任期：任期从正式宣布其成员时开始，预计将在第三届IETF之前，以确保其在第三届IETF上全面运作。该任期在下一个提名委员会任期开始后的第三次IETF（不是三次会议）结束。
IETF Executive Director: The person charged with operation of the IETF Secretariat function. (See Section 2 of [RFC3710]).
IETF执行董事：负责IETF秘书处职能运作的人员。（见[RFC3710]第2节）。
nominee: A person who is being or has been considered for one or more open positions of the IESG, IAB, or IAOC.
被提名人：正在或已经被考虑担任IESG、IAB或IAOC一个或多个空缺职位的人。
sitting member: A person who is currently serving a term of membership in the IESG, IAB, or ISOC Board of Trustees.
现任成员：目前担任IESG、IAB或ISOC董事会成员的人。
The following set of rules apply to the process as a whole. If necessary, a paragraph discussing the interpretation of each rule is included.
以下一组规则适用于整个流程。如有必要，将包括一段讨论每项规则的解释。
The completion of the annual process is due within seven months.
年度程序应在七个月内完成。
The completion of the annual process is due one month prior to the Friday of the week before the First IETF. It is expected to begin at least eight months prior to the Friday of the week before the First IETF.
年度流程应在第一次IETF前一周的星期五前一个月完成。预计在第一次IETF前一周的星期五之前至少八个月开始。
The process officially begins with the announcement of the Chair of the committee. The process officially ends when all confirmed candidates have been announced.
这一进程正式开始于委员会主席的宣布。当所有被确认的候选人都被宣布时，这一过程正式结束。
The annual process is comprised of three major components as follows:
年度流程由以下三个主要部分组成：
1. The selection and organization of the nominating committee members.
1. 提名委员会成员的选择和组织。
2. The selection of candidates by the nominating committee.
2. 提名委员会挑选候选人。
3. The confirmation of the candidates.
3. 候选人的确认。
There is an additional month set aside between when the annual process is expected to end and the term of the new candidates is to begin. This time may be used during unusual circumstances to extend the time allocated for any of the components listed above.
在年度程序预计结束和新候选人任期开始之间还有一个月的时间。在异常情况下，此时间可用于延长分配给上述任何组件的时间。
The principal functions of the nominating committee are to review each open IESG, IAB, and IAOC position and to nominate either its incumbent or a superior candidate.
提名委员会的主要职能是审查每个公开的IESG、IAB和IAOC职位，并提名其现任或上级候选人。
Although there is no term limit for serving in any IESG, IAB, or IAOC position, the nominating committee may use length of service as one of its criteria for evaluating an incumbent.
尽管担任IESG、IAB或IAOC职位没有任期限制，但提名委员会可将服务年限作为其评估在职人员的标准之一。
The nominating committee does not select the open positions to be reviewed; it is instructed as to which positions to review.
提名委员会没有选择要审查的空缺职位；它被指示检查哪些职位。
The nominating committee will be given the titles of the positions to be reviewed and a brief summary of the desired expertise of the candidate that is nominated to fill each position.
提名委员会将获得待审查职位的名称，以及被提名填补每个职位的候选人所需专业知识的简要总结。
Incumbents must notify the nominating committee if they wish to be nominated.
任职者如果希望被提名，必须通知提名委员会。
The nominating committee does not confirm its candidates; it presents its candidates to the appropriate confirming body as indicated below.
提名委员会不确认其候选人；它向适当的确认机构提出其候选人，如下所示。
A superior candidate is one who the nominating committee believes would contribute in such a way as to improve or enhance the body to which he or she is nominated.
更优秀的候选人是指提名委员会认为能够改善或加强其所提名的机构的候选人。
Approximately one-half of each of the then current IESG and IAB positions, and one IAOC position, is selected to be reviewed each year.
每年约有一半当时的IESG和IAB职位以及一个IAOC职位被选中进行审查。
The intent of this rule is to ensure the review of approximately one-half of each of the IESG and IAB sitting members, and one of the two nominated IAOC positions, each year. It is recognized that circumstances may exist that will require the nominating committee to review more or less than the usual number of positions, e.g., if the IESG, IAB, or IAOC have reorganized prior to this process and created new positions, if there are an odd number of current positions, or if a member unexpectedly resigns.
本规则的目的是确保每年对IESG和IAB两位现任成员中的大约一半以及两位IAOC提名职位中的一位进行审查。人们认识到，可能存在需要提名委员会审查多于或少于通常职位数量的情况，例如，如果IESG、IAB或IAOC在此过程之前进行了重组并创建了新职位，如果当前职位数量奇数，或者如果成员意外辞职。
Confirmed candidates are expected to serve at least a two-year term.
经确认的候选人预计至少任期两年。
The intent of this rule is to ensure that members of the IESG, IAB, and IAOC serve the number of years that best facilitates the review of one-half of the members each year.
该规则的目的是确保IESG、IAB和IAOC成员的服务年限最有利于每年对一半成员进行审查。
The term of a confirmed candidate selected according to the mid-term vacancy rules may be less than two years, as stated elsewhere in this document.
如本文件其他部分所述，根据中期空缺规则选出的经确认候选人的任期可能少于两年。
It is consistent with this rule for the nominating committee to choose one or more of the currently open positions to which it may assign a term of not more than three years in order to ensure the ideal application of this rule in the future.
提名委员会可以从目前空缺的职位中选择一个或多个，任期不超过三年，以确保这一规则在未来得到理想的应用，这符合这一规则。
It is consistent with this rule for the nominating committee to choose one or more of the currently open positions that share responsibilities with other positions (both those being reviewed and those sitting) to which it may assign a term of not more than three years to ensure that all such members will not be reviewed at the same time.
提名委员会可选择一个或多个与其他职位（包括被审查职位和在任职位）分担责任的现有空缺职位，其任期不超过三年，以确保所有此类成员不会同时接受审查，这符合该规则。
All sitting member terms end during the First IETF meeting corresponding to the end of the term for which they were confirmed. All confirmed candidate terms begin during the First IETF meeting corresponding to the beginning of the term for which they were confirmed.
所有在任成员任期在第一次IETF会议期间结束，与他们被确认的任期结束相对应。所有已确认的候选术语在第一次IETF会议期间开始，与已确认术语的开始相对应。
For confirmed candidates of the IESG, the terms begin no later than when the currently sitting members' terms end on the last day of the meeting. A term may begin or end no sooner than the first day of the meeting and no later than the last day of the meeting as determined by the mutual agreement of the currently sitting member and the confirmed candidate. A confirmed candidate's term may overlap the sitting member's term during the meeting as determined by their mutual agreement.
对于IESG的已确认候选人，任期不迟于会议最后一天现任成员任期结束时开始。任期的开始或结束不得早于会议的第一天，也不得迟于会议的最后一天，由现任成员和经确认的候选人共同商定。经确认的候选人在会议期间的任期可能与现任成员的任期重叠，具体取决于双方的协议。
For confirmed candidates of the IAB and IAOC, the terms overlap with the terms of the sitting members for the entire week of the meeting.
对于IAB和IAOC的确认候选人，任期与会议整个星期的现任成员任期重叠。
For candidates confirmed under the mid-term vacancy rules, the term begins as soon as possible after the confirmation.
对于根据中期空缺规则确认的候选人，任期在确认后尽快开始。
Mid-term vacancies are filled by the same rules as documented here with four qualifications, namely:
中期空缺的填补规则与此处所述相同，有四项资格，即：
1. When there is only one official nominating committee, the body with the mid-term vacancy relegates the responsibility to fill the vacancy to it. If the mid-term vacancy occurs during the period of time that the term of the prior year's nominating committee overlaps with the term of the current year's nominating committee, the body with the mid-term vacancy must relegate the responsibility to fill the vacancy to the prior year's nominating committee.
1. 当只有一个正式提名委员会时，有中期空缺的机构将填补空缺的责任下放给它。如果中期空缺发生在上一年度提名委员会的任期与本年度提名委员会的任期重叠期间，则出现中期空缺的机构必须将填补该空缺的责任移交给上一年度提名委员会。
2. If it is the case that the nominating committee is reconvening to fill the mid-term vacancy, then the completion of the candidate selection and confirmation process is due within six weeks, with all other time periods otherwise unspecified prorated accordingly.
2. 如果提名委员会再次开会填补中期空缺，则候选人甄选和确认程序应在六周内完成，所有其他未指明的时间段应相应按比例分配。
3. The confirming body has two weeks from the day it is notified of a candidate to reject the candidate, otherwise the candidate is assumed to have been confirmed.
3. 确认机构有两周的时间，从通知候选人拒绝该候选人之日算起，否则该候选人将被视为已被确认。
4. The term of the confirmed candidate will be either:
4. 经确认的候选人的任期为：
A. the remainder of the term of the open position if that remainder is not less than one year or
A.未平仓头寸的剩余期限，如果剩余期限不少于一年，或
B. the remainder of the term of the open position plus the next two-year term if that remainder is less than one year.
B.未平仓头寸剩余期限加上下一个两年期限（如果剩余期限少于一年）。
In both cases, a year is the period of time from a First IETF meeting to the next First IETF meeting.
在这两种情况下，一年是从第一次IETF会议到下一次IETF会议的时间段。
All deliberations and supporting information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed candidates are confidential.
与特定提名人、候选人和确认候选人相关的所有审议和支持信息均为机密信息。
The nominating committee and confirming body members will be exposed to confidential information as a result of their deliberations, their interactions with those they consult, and from those who provide requested supporting information. All members and all other participants are expected to handle this information in a manner consistent with its sensitivity.
提名委员会和确认机构成员将因其审议、与咨询者的互动以及提供所需支持信息的人的互动而接触到机密信息。所有成员和所有其他参与者应以与其敏感性一致的方式处理此信息。
It is consistent with this rule for current nominating committee members who have served on prior nominating committees to advise the current committee on deliberations and results of the prior committee, as necessary and appropriate.
根据这一规则，在先前提名委员会任职的现任提名委员会成员可在必要和适当的情况下，就先前委员会的审议情况和结果向现任委员会提出建议。
The list of nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the current nominating committee cycle is not confidential. The nominating committee may disclose a list of names of nominees who are willing to be considered for positions under review to the community, in order to obtain feedback from the community on these nominees.
在目前的提名委员会周期内，愿意被考虑担任正在审查的职位的被提名人名单并不保密。提名委员会可向社区披露愿意被考虑担任审查职位的被提名人名单，以获得社区对这些被提名人的反馈。
The list of nominees disclosed for a specific position should contain only the names of nominees who are willing to be considered for the position under review.
为特定职位披露的被提名人名单应仅包含愿意被考虑担任所审查职位的被提名人的姓名。
The nominating committee may choose not to include some names in the disclosed list, at their discretion.
提名委员会可自行决定不将某些姓名列入披露名单。
The nominating committee may disclose an updated list, at its discretion. For example, the nominating committee might disclose an
提名委员会可自行决定披露最新名单。例如，提名委员会可能会披露
updated list if it identifies errors/omissions in a previously disclosed version of the disclosed list, or if the nominating committee finds it necessary to call for additional nominees, and these nominees indicate a willingness to be considered before the nominating committee has completed its deliberations.
更新的名单，如果该名单在先前披露的名单版本中发现错误/遗漏，或者如果提名委员会认为有必要召集其他被提名人，并且这些被提名人表示愿意在提名委员会完成其审议之前被考虑。
Nominees may choose to ask people to provide feedback to the nominating committee but should not encourage any public statements of support. Nominating committees should consider nominee-encouraged lobbying and campaigning to be unacceptable behavior.
被提名人可选择要求他人向提名委员会提供反馈，但不应鼓励任何公开支持声明。提名委员会应该考虑被提名者鼓励游说和竞选活动是不可接受的行为。
IETF community members are encouraged to provide feedback on nominees to the nominating committee but should not post statements of support/non-support for nominees in any public forum.
鼓励IETF社区成员向提名委员会提供关于提名人的反馈，但不应在任何公共论坛上发布支持/不支持提名人的声明。
Unless otherwise specified, the advice and consent model is used throughout the process. This model is characterized as follows.
除非另有规定，否则在整个过程中使用建议和同意模式。该模型的特点如下。
The IETF Executive Director informs the nominating committee of the IESG, IAB, and IAOC positions to be reviewed.
IETF执行董事将IESG、IAB和IAOC的职位通知提名委员会进行审查。
The IESG, IAB, and IAOC are responsible for providing a summary of the expertise desired of the candidates selected for their respective open positions to the Executive Director. The summaries are provided to the nominating committee for its consideration.
IESG、IAB和IAOC负责向执行董事提供为其各自空缺职位挑选的候选人所需专业知识的摘要。这些摘要将提交提名委员会审议。
The nominating committee selects candidates based on its understanding of the IETF community's consensus of the qualifications required and advises each confirming body of its respective candidates.
提名委员会根据其对IETF社区对所需资格的共识的理解来选择候选人，并向各确认机构建议其各自的候选人。
The confirming bodies review their respective candidates, they may at their discretion communicate with the nominating committee, and then consent to some, all, or none of the candidates.
确认机构审查各自的候选人，可自行决定与提名委员会沟通，然后同意部分、全部或全部候选人。
The sitting IAB members review the IESG candidates.
现任IAB成员审查IESG候选人。
The Internet Society Board of Trustees reviews the IAB candidates.
互联网协会董事会审查IAB候选人。
The IAOC candidate is reviewed as specified in [RFC4071].
按照[RFC4071]的规定对IAOC候选人进行审查。
The confirming bodies conduct their review using all information and any means acceptable to them, including but not limited to the supporting information provided by the nominating committee, information known personally to members of the confirming bodies and shared within the confirming body, the results of interactions within the confirming bodies, and the confirming bodies' interpretation of what is in the best interests of the IETF community.
确认机构使用其可接受的所有信息和任何方式进行审查，包括但不限于提名委员会提供的支持信息、确认机构成员亲自知晓并在确认机构内共享的信息，确认机构内部互动的结果，以及确认机构对IETF社区最佳利益的解释。
If all of the candidates are confirmed, the job of the nominating committee with respect to those open positions is complete.
如果所有候选人都得到确认，提名委员会关于这些空缺职位的工作就完成了。
If some or none of the candidates submitted to a confirming body are confirmed, the confirming body should communicate with the nominating committee both to explain the reason why all the candidates were not confirmed and to understand the nominating committee's rationale for its candidates.
如果提交给确认机构的部分或全部候选人未被确认，确认机构应与提名委员会沟通，以解释所有候选人未被确认的原因，并了解提名委员会对其候选人的理由。
The confirming body may reject individual candidates, in which case the nominating committee must select alternate candidates for the rejected candidates.
确认机构可拒绝个别候选人，在这种情况下，提名委员会必须为被拒绝的候选人选择候补候选人。
Any additional time required by the nominating committee should not exceed its maximum time allotment.
提名委员会所需的任何额外时间不得超过其分配的最长时间。
A confirming body decides whether it confirms each candidate using a confirmation decision rule chosen by the confirming body.
确认机构决定是否使用确认机构选择的确认决策规则确认每个候选人。
If a confirming body has no specific confirmation decision rule, then confirming a given candidate should require at least one-half of the confirming body's sitting members to agree to that confirmation.
如果确认机构没有具体的确认决定规则，那么确认某一候选人应要求确认机构的现任成员中至少有一半同意该确认。
The decision may be made by conducting a formal vote, by asserting consensus based on informal exchanges (e.g., email), or by any other mechanism that is used to conduct the normal business of the confirming body.
可通过进行正式投票、基于非正式交流（如电子邮件）主张共识或通过用于执行确认机构正常业务的任何其他机制作出决定。
Regardless of which decision rule the confirming body uses, any candidate that is not confirmed under that rule is considered to be rejected.
无论确认机构使用哪种决策规则，任何未根据该规则确认的候选人都将被视为被拒绝。
The confirming body must make its decision within a reasonable time frame. The results from the confirming body must be reported promptly to the nominating committee.
确认机构必须在合理的时间范围内作出决定。确认机构的结果必须立即报告给提名委员会。
The following rules apply to nominees and candidates who are currently sitting members of the IESG, IAB, or IAOC and who are not sitting in an open position being filled by the nominating committee.
以下规则适用于目前担任IESG、IAB或IAOC成员且未担任提名委员会空缺职位的被提名人和候选人。
The confirmation of a candidate to an open position does not automatically create a vacancy in the IESG, IAB, or IAOC position currently occupied by the candidate. The mid-term vacancy can not exist until, first, the candidate formally resigns from the current position and, second, the body with the vacancy formally decides for itself that it wants the nominating committee to fill the mid-term vacancy according to the rules for a mid-term vacancy documented elsewhere in this document.
将候选人确认为空缺职位不会自动在该候选人目前担任的IESG、IAB或IAOC职位中产生空缺。中期空缺不可能存在，首先，候选人正式辞去目前的职位，其次，有空缺的机构自己正式决定，希望提名委员会根据本文件其他地方记录的中期空缺规则填补中期空缺。
The resignation should be effective as of when the term of the new position begins. The resignation may remain confidential to the IAB, IAOC, IESG, and nominating committee until the confirmed candidate is announced for the new position. The process, according to rules set out elsewhere in this document, of filling the seat vacated by the confirmed candidate may begin as soon as the vacancy is publicly announced.
辞职应在新职位任期开始时生效。辞职可能对IAB、IAOC、IESG和提名委员会保密，直到新职位的确认候选人被宣布。根据本文件其他部分规定的规则，填补经确认的候选人空出的席位的过程可在公开宣布空缺后立即开始。
Filling a mid-term vacancy is a separate and independent action from the customary action of filling open positions. In particular, a nominating committee must complete its job with respect to filling the open positions and then separately proceed with the task of filling the mid-term vacancy according to the rules for a mid-term vacancy documented elsewhere in this document.
填补中期空缺是一项独立的行动，与填补空缺的习惯行动不同。特别是，提名委员会必须完成填补空缺职位的工作，然后根据本文件其他地方记录的中期空缺规则，单独着手填补中期空缺。
However, the following exception is permitted in the case where the candidate for an open position is currently a sitting member of the IAB. It is consistent with these rules for the announcements of a resignation of a sitting member of the IAB and of the confirmed candidate for the mid-term vacancy created by that sitting member on the IAB to all occur at the same time as long as the actual sequence of events that occurred did so in the following order:
但是，如果空缺职位的候选人目前是IAB的现任成员，则允许以下例外情况。只要实际发生的事件顺序如下，IAB现任成员和该现任成员在IAB上产生的中期空缺的已确认候选人的辞职公告将同时发生，这与这些规则是一致的：
1. The nominating committee completes the advice and consent process for the open position being filled by the candidate currently sitting on the IAB.
1. 提名委员会完成由现任IAB候选人填补的空缺职位的建议和同意流程。
2. The newly confirmed candidate resigns from their current position on the IAB.
2. 新确认的候选人从IAB的当前职位辞职。
3. The IAB with the new mid-term vacancy requests that the nominating committee fill the position.
3. 有新的中期空缺的IAB要求提名委员会填补该职位。
4. The Executive Director of the IETF informs the nominating committee of the mid-term vacancy.
4. IETF执行主任将中期空缺通知提名委员会。
5. The nominating committee acts on the request to fill the mid-term vacancy.
5. 提名委员会应填补中期空缺的请求采取行动。
All announcements must be made using at least the mechanism used by the IETF Secretariat for its announcements, including a notice on the IETF web site.
所有公告必须至少使用IETF秘书处用于公告的机制，包括IETF网站上的公告。
As of the publication of this document, the current mechanism is an email message to both the "ietf" and the "ietf-announce" mailing lists.
截至本文件发布之日，目前的机制是向“ietf”和“ietf公告”邮件列表发送电子邮件。
The following set of rules apply to the creation of the nominating committee and the selection of its members.
以下一套规则适用于提名委员会的设立及其成员的甄选。
The completion of the process of selecting and organizing the members of the nominating committee is due within three months.
提名委员会成员的甄选和组织工作应在三个月内完成。
The completion of the selection and organization process is due at least one month prior to the Third IETF. This ensures the nominating committee is fully operational and available for interviews and consultation during the Third IETF.
选择和组织过程应至少在第三次IETF前一个月完成。这确保了提名委员会在第三届IETF期间充分运作并可接受采访和咨询。
The term of a nominating committee is expected to be 15 months.
提名委员会的任期预计为15个月。
It is the intent of this rule that the end of a nominating committee's term overlap by approximately three months the beginning of the term of the next nominating committee.
本条规则的目的是，提名委员会任期结束时与下一个提名委员会任期开始时重叠约三个月。
The term of a nominating committee begins when its members are officially announced. The term ends at the Third IETF (not three meetings), i.e., the IETF meeting after the next nominating committee's term begins.
提名委员会的任期从正式宣布其成员时开始。任期结束于第三届IETF（非三次会议），即下一届提名委员会任期开始后的IETF会议。
A term is expected to begin at least two months prior to the Third IETF to ensure the nominating committee has at least one month to get organized before preparing for the Third IETF.
任期预计在第三届IETF前至少两个月开始，以确保提名委员会在筹备第三届IETF前至少有一个月的时间进行组织。
A nominating committee is expected to complete any work in progress before it is dissolved at the end of its term.
提名委员会应在任期结束解散之前完成任何正在进行的工作。
During the period of time when the terms of the nominating committees overlap, all mid-term vacancies are to be relegated to the prior year's nominating committee. The prior year's nominating committee has no other responsibilities during the overlap period. At all times other than the overlap period, there is exactly one official nominating committee and it is responsible for all mid-term vacancies.
在提名委员会任期重叠期间，所有中期空缺都将归入上一年的提名委员会。上一年的提名委员会在重叠期间没有其他职责。除重叠期外，任何时候都只有一个正式提名委员会，负责所有中期空缺。
When the prior year's nominating committee is filling a mid-term vacancy during the period of time that the terms overlap, the nominating committees operate independently. However, some coordination is needed between them. Since the prior year's Chair is a non-voting advisor to the current nominating committee, the coordination is expected to be straightforward.
当上一年的提名委员会在任期重叠期间填补中期空缺时，提名委员会独立运作。然而，它们之间需要一些协调。由于前一年的主席是现任提名委员会的无表决权顾问，因此协调工作预计将是直截了当的。
The nominating committee comprises at least a Chair, 10 voting volunteers, two liaisons, and an advisor.
提名委员会至少由一名主席、10名投票志愿者、两名联络人和一名顾问组成。
Any committee member may propose the addition of an advisor to participate in some or all of the deliberations of the committee. The addition must be approved by the committee according to its established voting mechanism. Advisors participate as individuals.
任何委员会成员均可提议增加一名顾问，以参与委员会的部分或全部审议。增加的项目必须由委员会根据其既定的投票机制批准。顾问以个人身份参与。
Any committee member may propose the addition of a liaison from other unrepresented organizations to participate in some or all of the deliberations of the committee. The addition must be approved by the committee according to its established voting mechanism. Liaisons participate as representatives of their respective organizations.
委员会任何成员均可提议增加其他无人任职组织的联络员，以参加委员会的部分或全部审议。增加的项目必须由委员会根据其既定的投票机制批准。联络人作为各自组织的代表参加。

The nominating committee Chair must agree to invest the time necessary to ensure that the nominating committee completes its assigned duties and to perform in the best interests of the IETF community in that role.
提名委员会主席必须同意投入必要的时间，以确保提名委员会完成其分配的职责，并以IETF社区的最佳利益履行该职责。
The appointment is due no later than the Second IETF meeting to ensure it can be announced during a plenary session at that meeting. The completion of the appointment is necessary to ensure the annual process can complete at the time specified elsewhere in this document.
任命应不迟于IETF第二次会议，以确保在该次会议的全体会议上宣布。完成任命是必要的，以确保年度流程能够在本文件其他部分规定的时间完成。

Over the years, various nominating committees have learned through oral tradition passed on by liaisons that there are certain consistencies in the process and information considered during deliberations. Some items from that oral tradition are collected here to facilitate its consideration by future nominating committees.
多年来，各提名委员会通过联络人传递的口头传统了解到，审议过程和审议过程中考虑的信息具有一定的一致性。这里收集了这一口头传统的一些项目，以便于今后的提名委员会审议。
1. It has been found that experience as an IETF Working Group Chair or an IRTF Research Group Chair is helpful in giving a nominee experience of what the job of an Area Director involves. It also helps a nominating committee judge the technical, people, and process management skills of the nominee.
1. 已经发现，作为IETF工作组主席或IRTF研究组主席的经验有助于让提名人了解区域总监的工作内容。它还帮助提名委员会判断被提名人的技术、人员和流程管理技能。
2. No person should serve both on the IAB and as an Area Director, except the IETF Chair whose roles as an IAB member and Area Director of the General Area are set out elsewhere.
2. 除IETF主席外，任何人不得同时担任IAB和区域总监，IETF主席作为IAB成员和一般区域的区域总监的角色在其他地方有所规定。
3. The strength of the IAB is found in part in the balance of the demographics of its members (e.g., national distribution, years of experience, gender, etc.), the combined skill set of its members, and the combined sectors (e.g., industry, academia, etc.) represented by its members.
3. IAB的优势部分体现在其成员的人口统计特征（如国家分布、经验年限、性别等）、成员的综合技能以及成员所代表的综合行业（如工业、学术等）的平衡中。
4. There are no term limits explicitly because the issue of continuity versus turnover should be evaluated each year according to the expectations of the IETF community, as it is understood by each nominating committee.
4. 没有明确的期限限制，因为按照各提名委员会的理解，应根据IETF社区的期望，每年评估连续性与更替的问题。
5. The number of nominating committee members with the same primary affiliation is limited in order to avoid the appearance of improper bias in choosing the leadership of the IETF. Rather than defining precise rules for how to define "affiliation", the IETF community depends on the honor and integrity of the participants to make the process work.
5. 为了避免在选择IETF领导层时出现不适当的偏见，具有相同主要从属关系的提名委员会成员的数量是有限的。IETF社区不是为如何定义“从属关系”定义精确的规则，而是依靠参与者的荣誉和诚信来实现过程。
This appendix is included for the convenience of the reader and is not to be interpreted as the definitive timeline. It is intended to capture the detail described elsewhere in this document in one place. Although every effort has been made to ensure the description here is consistent with the description elsewhere, if there are any conflicts the definitive rule is the one in the main body of this document.
本附录是为了方便读者而提供的，不应被解释为最终时间表。其目的是在一个地方捕获本文档其他地方描述的细节。尽管已尽一切努力确保此处的描述与其他地方的描述一致，但如果存在任何冲突，则最终规则为本文件正文中的规则。
The only absolute in the timeline rules for the annual process is that its completion is due by the First IETF of the year after the nominating committee begins its term. This is supported by the fact that the confirmed candidate terms begin during the week of the First IETF.
年度流程时间表规则中唯一的绝对规定是，提名委员会开始其任期后的第一个IETF应完成。经确认的候选条款在第一次IETF的一周内开始，这一事实证明了这一点。
The overall annual process is designed to be completed in seven months. It is expected to start nine months prior to the First IETF. The time is split between three major components of the process roughly as follows:
整个年度流程计划在七个月内完成。预计在第一次IETF之前九个月开始。时间分为流程的三个主要部分，大致如下：
1. First is the selection and organization of the committee members. Three months are allotted for this process.
1. 首先是委员会成员的挑选和组织。为这一过程分配了三个月的时间。
2. Second is the selection of the candidates by the nominating committee. Four months are allotted for this process.
2. 第二是提名委员会挑选候选人。为这一进程分配了四个月的时间。
3. Third is the confirmation of the candidates by their respective confirming bodies. Two months are allotted for this process.
3. 第三是由各自的确认机构确认候选人。为这一过程分配了两个月的时间。
The following list captures the details of the milestones within each component. For illustrative purposes, the list presumes the Friday before the First IETF is March 1. Numbers shown in square brackets indicate the expected number of weeks at each step.
