RFC Editor Model
RFC 6635, “RFC Editor Model”, is an Informational document published in June 2012 by O. Kolkman, J. Halpern, IAB. It obsoletes RFC 5620. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8728 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The RFC Editor model described in this document divides the responsibilities for the RFC Series into three functions: the RFC Series Editor, the RFC Production Center, and the RFC Publisher. Internet Architecture Board (IAB) oversight via the RFC Series Oversight Committee (RSOC) is described, as is the relationship between the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) and the RSOC. This document reflects the experience gained with "RFC Editor Model (Version 1)", documented in RFC 5620, and obsoletes that document. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
