And [G] is simply..

..and perusal with various search engines/tools yields no further information 
about "RFC Editor Charter", and rfc2028 was written in late 1996.

Well, uh, besides Joyce Reynolds, I'm curious as to who all are actively 
contributing to that role. Is it folks on the IAB? Is it folks at IANA (and, 
uh, who zactly these days is affiliated with IANA besides the well-known 
board? who're the doers?)? Is it just anybody at ISI? Is it part of being on 
the IESG being an AD? Is it WG chairs? Who gets to decide?

How is it presently decided who may participate in acting in the RFC-Editor 
role?

I'm just sorta curious cuz it seems to be an opaque object in the otherwise 
fairly well-defined works (of the IETF et al).

thanks,
