Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the message below. The IAB RFC Series Editorial Future Development Program is about to finish its work and it's now a good time to review draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model!
Please see below for further information!

We are now coming to the conclusion of > our work, and the IAB will soon begin its formal consideration, which is > governed by RFC 4845[2]. Part of that process includes solicitation of > community input. > > The program has developed an evolution of the RFC Editor Model and a small > change to the charter of the IAB. You can find this evolution in > draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-05 as well as two companion drafts[3,4,5]. This > draft brings together many different points of view, as you can see from the > mailing list archive[6]. > > Here are some of the proposed changes that you may wish to know: > > The community oversees the evolution of the series by means of an open > working group. Proposed changes that reach rough consensus will be reviewed > by an RFC Series Approval Board (RSAB) that consists of the RSCE and people > representing the various streams. > > The RFC Editor role is changing to that of a consulting editor (RFC Series > Consulting Editor or RSCE). In this model, an expert will provide guidance to > the community, the streams, and to the RPC to evolve the series. > > The IAB will no longer manage or oversee the RFC series. The community and > the streams will do that. The IAB will continue to be in the appeal path if > there are disputes. > > There are a lot of things that won't change. The RPC would continue to handle > day-to-day functions of the RFC Editor function, and authors should not see > any immediate change in terms of how RFCs are published. They continue to be > managed through the LLC. We will continue to benefit from the expertise of a > professional expert, now the RSCE. > > Of course, there's a lot more detail that is specified in the drafts. > > This is what will soon be put forth for your comments. In the meantime, even > though the formal comment period is not yet open, we invite you to review the > model now and bring whatever questions you might have to the program when we > meet on Wednesday, November 10th, at 14.30 GMT at the IETF meeting. Of course > you can also join the mailing list[7] and contribute your questions and > comments there. > > On behalf of the program, > > Brian and Eliot > > [1] > https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/rfc-editor-future-development-program/ > > <https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/rfc-editor-future-development-program/> > [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4845.html > <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4845.html> > [3] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-05 > <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-05> > [4] > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-carpenter-rfced-iab-charter-03 > <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-carpenter-rfced-iab-charter-03> > [5] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-rosen-rfcefdp-update-2026-01 > <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-rosen-rfcefdp-update-2026-01> > [6] https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/rfced-future/ > <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/rfced-future/> > [7] https://www.iab.org/mailman/listinfo/rfced-future > <https://www.iab.org/mailman/listinfo/rfced-future>-- > Rfced-future mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.iab.org/mailman/listinfo/rfced-future
