The following is one of the steps in the proposed process:

requests the IETF LLC issue an RFP.
Note: this is not an approval step, just the mechanics of who has
the token to turn this crank.
Why are such mechanics needed?
The process is something for the different committees or entities to
figure out. The statement of work from 2016 overrides Section 2.1.5
of RFC 6635. This will be the second time that the Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) is unable to follow what is written in the
RFC which it approved. Although it produced a less than satisfactory
outcome, the IAB and the RFC Series Oversight Committee is still
proceeding with it. That does not look like a good idea .
