General Network Working Group Internet-Draft This document updates the IAB Charter (RFC 2850) to be consistent with the new model for the RFC Editor (draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model).
Introduction In the RFC Editor model defined by , the RFC Series is now governed by its own mechanisms. This requires a modification to the Internet Architecture Board charter . Note that RFC 2850 states that the RFC Editor appoints a liaison member to the IAB. This does not change.
Changed Text In Section 2 of RFC 2850, entitled "The Role of the IAB", under the sub-heading "(b) RFC Series and IANA", the following sentence: "The IAB must approve the appointment of an organization to act as RFC Editor and the general policy followed by the RFC Editor." is replaced by: "The RFC Editor function is defined under the authority of the IAB by ."
IANA Considerations This document makes no request of IANA.
Security Considerations This document should not affect the security of the Internet.

Informative References RFC Editor Model (Version 3) Mozilla This document describes updated processes for defining and implementing policies regarding the RFC Series as a whole and thus specifies version 3 of RFC Editor Model. The model defines two high- level tasks related to the RFC Series. Policy definition is the responsibility of the RFC Series Working Group (RSWG), which produces policy proposals that are subject to approval by the RFC Series Approval Board (RSAB). Policy implementation is primarily the responsibility of the RFC Production Center (RPC), under the ultimate authority of the IETF Administration Limited Liability Company (IETF LLC). This document obsoletes RFC 8728. This document updates RFC 7841, RFC 8729, and RFC 8730.
