The IAB and IAOC have put together the following proposed
plan for clarifying the RFC Editor function and running through
a contract review process this year.
The key pieces of this proposed process are:
. getting agreement on a basic RFC Editor charter
. completing TechSpec to describe requirements for
IETF technical specification publication
. developing analogous components for independent
submissions, IRTF documents, etc. (Not all yet on
the timeline).
Comments welcome.
