The IESG recently announced that they are going ahead with a proposal to publicly archive AUTH48 communications for IETF-stream RFCs[1]. The IAB has agreed that it would like to include AUTH48 communications for IAB- stream RFCs in this archive as well.
As described by the IESG, the plan is to set up a single public mailing list whose only purpose is to archive AUTH48 conversations. The RFC Editor, when initiating the conversation with the authors during AUTH48, will CC this mailing list. All further responses should keep the mailing list in the CC, unless sharing of sensitive information necessitates an opt-out by the RFC Editor or the authors. The IAB would like to emphasize that while the purpose here is to further increase transparency of the IAB publication process, the IAB publication process remains unchanged. Most importantly, that means that any conversation during AUTH48 remains between the RFC Editor and the authors, with the IAB in the loop. If community members wish to express opinions about document changes discussed during AUTH48 between the authors and the RFC Editor, they may raise them with the IAB.
