Hi Eric,
Thank you for pointing this out.
When planning the selection of NomCom volunteers and looking back on
previous years, I used the days of the month to draft the plan, but
overlooked the day of the week on which the lottery draws are scheduled.
I will consult with the NomCom advisor to determine whether, with
lottery draws taking place half a week later, we are within the one-week
timeframe specified in RFC 8713. I will send an update on the revised
lottery draws to the IETF Announce and IETF Discussion lists by Tuesday
at the latest.
Thanks,
-- Benno

Benno,
This doesn't seem consistent with RFC 8713's requirement that
The announcement should be made at least one week prior to the date
on which the random selection will occur.
If you are going to release the list on 7/1 and then do the selection on
7/4, that's only three days, even not accounting for the challenge
period, which you need to do.

Hi all,
We are now in the final week to sign up as a NomCom volunteer, with
registration closing at the end of the day on 30 June. We currently
have around 180 volunteers, which is a good number, but we always
welcome more!
It only takes one click to volunteer for NomCom 2025–2026:
Volunteer Here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/volunteer
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/volunteer>
The final list of volunteers will be announced shortly after 1 July
2025, with a brief period for any challenges to inclusions.
Volunteer selection will follow the process outlined in RFC 8713 and
use the random selection method defined in RFC 3797. The seeds that
will be used are listed below:
* The seven number from the Dutch Lottery Lotto Trekking (https://
lotto.nederlandseloterij.nl/trekkingsuitslag <https://
lotto.nederlandseloterij.nl/trekkingsuitslag>) on Saturday, 2025-07-05.
* The seven numbers from Croatian Lottery Loto 7 (https://
www.lutrija.hr/hl/rezultati/loto-7 <https://www.lutrija.hr/hl/
rezultati/loto-7>) on Saturday, 2025-07-05.
* The seven numbers from Euro-Millions (https://www.euro-
millions.com <https://www.euro-millions.com>) on Friday, 2025-07-04.
* The nine numbers from the Japanese Takarakuji Loto 7 (https://
en.lottolyzer.com/result/japan/lotto-7 <https://en.lottolyzer.com/
result/japan/lotto-7>) on Friday 2025-07-04.
Thanks,
