Following the note just sent about the proposed timeline for reviewing the RFC Editor contract this year, here is the STRAW proposal RFC Editor charter proposed by the IAB. It is a modest extension of the RFC Editor paragraph as found in RFC 2850 (the IAB Charter). The purpose of this straw proposal is to inform discussions scheduled for the GENAREA meeting at IETF65 in Dallas. After the Dallas meeting, the IAB will provide a more formal charter proposal. STRAW RFC Editor Charter The RFC Editor executes editorial management for the publication of the "Request for Comment" (RFC) document series, which is the permanent document repository of the IETF community. The RFC series constitutes the archival publication channel for Internet Standards and for other contributions by the Internet research and engineering community. RFCs are available free of charge to anyone via the Internet. It is the responsibility of the IAB to approve the appointment of an organization to act as RFC Editor and the general policy followed by the RFC Editor. Policies, including those for defining publication tracks and their requirements, intellectual property rights, as well as editorial review and approval processes, must be defined in IETF community consensus documents before being put to the IAB for approval.
