Proposed version of IAD job announcement in Carl's draft

The role and job of the IAD is described in several documents. There is a sample call for the IAD position in Appendix E of draft-malamud-consultant-report-01.txt. This says 


   The IETF Administrative Entity is seeking a highly capable individual
   to serve as Administrative Director.  You will report to the IETF
   Chair and be accountable to IETF community.  This is a highly visible
   and very demanding job.  You will be expected to:
   o  Serve as the day-to-day chief operating officer of the IETF,
      managing a number of contractors and working with a number of
      volunteers.
   o  Provide primary support for budgeting and financial reporting
      processes.
   o  Serve as the primary staff resource for the governing body of the
      administrative entity for the IETF.
   o  Work with your contractors and members of the IETF community to
      provide adequate support and planning for 3 IETF meetings
      annually, and for frequent meetings and teleconferences of the
      IAB, IESG, and other bodies that support the IETF.
   o  Work with our liaison organizations, such as the RFC Editor and
      the IANA.
   o  Coordinate the standards-making support process, in particular the
      periodic meetings of the IESG.

   The following characteristics are necessary for this job:
   o  This job is public service.  You should be able to work
      successfully with large numbers of people.  This requires a high
      clock rate, a large stack, and the ability to listen carefully.
   o  This is an operations job.  IETF meetings are large and complex,
      and the day-to-day activities of the standards-making process is
      demanding.  You should be adept at getting real results and
      helping large groups work together towards common goals and
      deadlines.
   o  This job requires a financially astute individual.  The IETF is a
      $2-$3 million/year operation.  IETF funds are tight and we expect
      you to take leadership in establishing our budgetary procedures,
      our procurement standards, and understanding our revenue sources.

   In-depth familiarity with the IETF prior to assuming this position is
   not required, but you must be able to quickly get up to speed and
   learn the unique culture and requirements of the organization.
   Likewise, long-term technical experience is not required, but you
   must be a quick learner and adept at using the Internet effectively.

   You may work out of a home office as a telecommuter, or use the
   Internet Society facilities in Virginia.  In either case, you should
   be prepared to travel to Virginia, IETF meetings, and the locations
   where the IETF has contractors.


   Applicants should forward a resume, references, and any other
   relevant materials, with a cover letter explaining why they feel they
   are the right person for this position to:
