RFC Editor Model
RFC 8728, “RFC Editor Model”, is an Informational document published in February 2020 by O. Kolkman, J. Halpern, R. Hinden. It obsoletes RFC 6635. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9280 — 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 Administration Limited Liability Company and the RSOC. This document reflects the experience gained with "RFC Editor Model (Version 1)", documented in RFC 5620; and obsoletes RFC 6635 to replace all references to the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) and related structures with those defined by the IASA 2.0 Model.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
