I raised the question of what the scope of the RFC 9280 updates might be.

It's possible that we could say "anything goes", but I'd prefer if we have a 
tighter scope.  So here's my short list of things that might be in scope.  
These are from Paul & Alexis' draft.

1. Updates based on RFC 9720 publication
  a. allow reissuance of RFCs (without "substantive" change)
  b. add desire to maintain series consistency
  c. rely on citation of 9720 rather than reproducing all of it
2. More clearly allow the details of how policies are implemented to be 
developed outside of RSWG process (i.e., setting editorial policy, defining 
rfcxml formats, setting guidelines for documents, maintaining tools for 
developing documents)
3. Define appeals path for decisions made in setting of detailed policy or its 
implication (e.g., disputes over interpretation for specific documents)
4. Define "consumers" for RFCs as stakeholders and assign the RPC a role in 
representing their interests

(I'm personally unsure about this last one, but I'll hold off on articulating 
why for now.)
