Abstract

This document updates the IAB Charter (RFC 2850) to be consistent with the new model for the RFC Editor (draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model).

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 25 March 2022.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

In the RFC Editor model defined by [I-D.iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model], the RFC Series is now governed by its own mechanisms. This requires a modification to the Internet Architecture Board charter [RFC2850].

Note that RFC 2850 states that the RFC Editor appoints a liaison member to the IAB. This does not change.

2. Changed Text

In Section 2 of RFC 2850, entitled "The Role of the IAB", under the sub-heading "(b) RFC Series and IANA", the following sentence:

"The IAB must approve the appointment of an organization to act as RFC Editor and the general policy followed by the RFC Editor."

is replaced by:

"The RFC Editor function is defined under the authority of the IAB by [I-D.iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model]."

3. Note [RFC Editor: please remove]

[RFC2026] contains the sentence:

"RFC publication is the direct responsibility of the RFC Editor, under the general direction of the IAB."

which is obsolete according to [I-D.iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model] and should be marked for deletion in any future update.

4. IANA Considerations

This document makes no request of IANA.

5. Security Considerations

This document should not affect the security of the Internet.

6. Acknowledgements

Useful comments were received from John Klensin, Eliot Lear, Peter Saint-Andre, Rich Salz and others.
