General Network Working Group Internet-Draft This document updates the IAB Charter (RFC 2850) to be consistent with version 3 of the RFC Editor Model (draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model).

Introduction In version 3 of the RFC Editor model defined by , the RFC Series is governed by its own mechanisms. This requires a modification to the Internet Architecture Board charter . Also, RFC 2850 states that the RFC Editor appoints a liaison member to the IAB. This is no longer necessary.

Changed Text In Section 1.2 of RFC 2850, entitled "Ex-Officio and Liaison members" the phrase "the RFC Editor," is deleted. In Section 2 of RFC 2850, entitled "The Role of the IAB", under the sub-heading "(d) 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 ."

Approval This document is published as an IETF Best Current Practice and has also been approved by the IAB.

IANA Considerations This document makes no request of IANA.

Security Considerations This document should not affect the security of the Internet.

Acknowledgements Useful comments were received from John Klensin, Eliot Lear, Peter Saint-Andre, Rich Salz and others.

Normative References Internet Architecture Board This memo documents the composition, selection, roles, and organization of the Internet Architecture Board. It replaces RFC 1601. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. This document specifies version 3 of the RFC Editor Model. The Model defines two high-level tasks related to the RFC Series. First, policy definition is the joint responsibility of the RFC Series Working Group (RSWG), which produces policy proposals, and the RFC Series Approval Board (RSAB), which approves such proposals. Second, policy implementation is primarily the responsibility of the RFC Production Center (RPC) as contractually overseen by the IETF Administration Limited Liability Company (IETF LLC). In addition, various responsibilities of the "RFC Editor Function" are now performed alone or in combination by the RSWG, RSAB, RPC, RFC Series Consulting Editor (RSCE), and IETF LLC. Finally, this document establishes the Editorial Stream for publication of future policy definition documents produced through the processes defined herein. This document obsoletes RFC 8728. This document updates RFC 7841, RFC 8729, and RFC 8730.
