The IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC), on behalf of the RFC Editor, announces this
Request for Proposals for a revamp of the RFC Editor website, www.rfc-editor.org. The successful
bidder will enter into a contract with the Internet Society.

and accessibility), and
e. Improve the content maintenance processes.
