Re: [IAOC] Re: RFC Editor RFP Review Request

[Leslie Daigle <leslie at thinkingcat.com>]

Note that I never said that the IAB was not part of the
IETF family/universe/collection.

The important thing is that the IAB is independent in
its decision making, and not subject to the IESG's
whims or strictly bound by the IETF's input, which appeared to
be the key elements in your concerns of IETF "ownership".

draft-iab-rfc-editor-01 (now in the repository) lays out a
framework for the IAB to ensure there is a (broader-than-IETF)
community-defined RFC series, with community input and
feedback.


So -- it's a proposal for community-driven RFC Series
not under IETF (IESG) control.
