The IAOC is pleased to announce that the Internet Society on its behalf has signed a Letter of Intent with the University of Southern California to conclude terms with the Information Sciences Institute to renew its contract as RFC Editor. Assuming terms can be reached, the contract renewal would begin on January 1, 2009 and run for one year. After briefing the IAB and obtaining their support for this direction, as part of the IAB's RFC Editor oversight role, the IAOC has engaged in further discussions with ISI in furtherance of the agreement. It is anticipated that the renewal agreement will be concluded by July.
