The IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC), on behalf of the RFC
Editor, announces this
Request for Proposals for a revamp of the RFC Editor website,
www.rfc-editor.org. The successful
bidder will enter into a contract with the Internet Society.
The RFC Editor desires a revamp of its website to update the RFC Editor’s
public-facing website,
providing a "front door" for the RFC Editor, and a more easily maintained
presence to the community.

needs to provide an easy
and accessible interface to the RFC Series.
Project goals include:
a. Improve ease of navigation,
b. Modernize the website visual design,
c. Make the website work better for all classes of devices, including smart
phones and those with low-
bandwidth and high-latency connections.
d. Incorporate current best-practices in website design and implementation
(such as responsive design
and accessibility), and
e. Improve the content maintenance processes.
