Robert Elz as TZ coordinator and designated technical expert
Hello; I volunteered to act on the behalf of the Time Zone Database community and relay the call (by David Keegel) that the TZ mailing list has reached a consensus that Robert Elz ( kre@munnari.oz.au) should be TZ Coordinator, and the technical expert to IANA designated by the IESG, as is called for in draft-lear-iana-timezone-database-04 While that document has not been formally published by the IETF, it has been approved by the IESG and IANA is now administering the Time Zone database and mailing list under its provisions, so a technical expert is needed. On the primary thread discussing this on the TZML this there were over 20 messages and no opposition in over 2 weeks of LC, so I think that there is no doubt that the consensus is very solid. He has been acting in this role in a temporary capacity so there would be no perturbations caused by this appointment. Pete and Peter, could you please relay this to the entire IESG? I would be glad to answer any questions, and I am sure that David K would be as well. Regards Marshall Eubanks

Also, drop the "-04" from the URI and you'll get automatically redirected to the most recent revision (which may actually be an RFC when the process is 'done'): http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lear-iana-timezone-database

While that document has not been formally published by the IETF, it has been approved by the IESG and IANA is now administering the Time Zone database and mailing list under its provisions, so a technical expert is needed.

Hi Marshall, I have followed the discussion on the tz@iana.org list and I concur with your reading of the consensus. As the sponsoring Area Director for draft-lear-iana-timezone-database, I will be happy to take the next steps required for interaction with the IESG. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
