The answer is that a reader of 6702 (which is not obsolete and is cited, e.g. in https://www.ietf.org/standards/process/informal/ ) might find the reference to "the Executive Director of the IETF" and try to contact the wrong person. (Admittedly, only a sophisticated reader who knows to look for updates will do this, but that's because of the RFC archival policy.) Why would we leave known errors in RFCs? > I took a quick look at some of the other BCPs related to the > IETF. One of them states that "there is no board of directors for > the IETF". That definition is likely "historic". It's still true. IETF LLC has a board, but the IETF doesn't. The phrase seems to be in two RFCs, of which RFC4677 is already obsolete. RFC3233 hardly mentions administration, so there is really nothing wrong with it IMHO. Even this: > The Internet Society provides many services > to the IETF, including insurance and some financial and logistical > support. is still true, since IETF LLC is a disregarded entity of ISOC.
