+   Update to the Process for Selection of Trustees for the IETF Trust
+
+Abstract
+
+   This memo updates the process for selection of Trustees for the IETF
+   Trust.  Previously, the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee
+   (IAOC) members also acted as Trustees, but the IAOC has been
+   eliminated as part of an update to the structure of the IETF
+   Administrative Support Activity (IASA).  This memo specifies that the
+   Trustees shall be selected separately.
+
+   This memo obsoletes RFC 4371.  The changes relate only to the
+   selection of Trustees.  All other aspects of the IETF Trust remain as
+   they are today.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+   This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
+
+   This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+   (IETF).  It represents the consensus of the IETF community.  It has
+   received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+   Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG).  Further information on
+   BCPs is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

+1.  Introduction
+
+   This memo updates the process for selection of Trustees for the IETF
+   Trust.  Previously, the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee
+   (IAOC) members also acted as Trustees, but the IAOC has been
+   eliminated as part of an update to the structure of the IETF
+   Administrative Support Activity (IASA).  This memo specifies that the
+   Trustees shall be selected separately.  See Section 3.
+
+   This memo obsoletes [RFC4371].  The changes relate only to the
+   selection of Trustees.  All other aspects of the IETF Trust remain as
+   they are today.  Section 2 copies the definition as it was in
+   [RFC4371], only leaving out the part about Trustee selection and
+   adding a reference to the IETF Trust website.
+
+   For a discussion of why this change is needed and a rationale for
+   these specific changes, see [RFC8715].
+
+2.  IETF Trust
+
+   A Trust ("the IETF Trust") has been formed for the purpose of
+   acquiring, holding, maintaining, and licensing certain existing and
+   future intellectual property and other property used in connection
+   with the administration of the IETF.  The Trust was formed by the
+   signatures of its Settlors and initial Trustees.  The Settlors, who
+   contributed initial intellectual property to the Trust, were ISOC and
+   the Corporation for National Research Initiatives.  The Beneficiary
+   of the IETF Trust is the IETF as a whole.
+
+   Further details of the IETF Trust may be found at the IETF Trust's
+   website, <https://trustee.ietf.org/>.
+
+3.  Selection of Trustees
+
+   This document revises the original Trustee selection procedures
+   defined in [RFC4071] and [RFC4371] to eliminate the requirement that
+   Trustees be drawn from the members of the IAOC.
+
+   In this newly revised IETF Trust structure, there will be five
+   Trustees.  Three shall be appointed by the IETF Nominating Committee
+   (NomCom) and confirmed by the Internet Engineering Steering Group
+   (IESG), one shall be appointed by the IESG, and one shall be
+   appointed by the Internet Society (ISOC) Board of Trustees.  The
+   appointments by the IESG and the ISOC Board of Trustees do not
+   require confirmation.
+
+   The IETF Trust Chair informs the nominating committee of the Trustee
+   positions to be reviewed.  The IETF Trust will provide a summary of
+   the expertise desired of the Trustee candidates to each appointing
+   body.
+
+   A change to the Trust Agreement is required to put this change into
+   effect, and this document requests that the current Trustees make
+   this change at the earliest convenient time and no later than the end
+   of the 104th IETF meeting in March 2019.
+
+   The terms of the appointed Trustees from the IETF NomCom shall be
+   three years.  The initial selection shall be one, two, and three year
+   terms in order to initially stagger the terms.  The other
+   appointments by the IESG and the ISOC Board of Trustees shall be two
+   year terms, with the initial terms being one and two years,
+   respectively.  The goal of the staggered initial terms is to minimize
+   potential Trustee turnover in any single year.  To maintain the
+   staggered terms, each appointing body may, at its discretion, appoint
+   Trustees for shorter terms as needed in exceptional situations, e.g.,
+   for mid-term vacancies or when an appointment is not ready by the
+   time of the first IETF meeting of the year.
+
+   Once the initial Trustee selections according to the procedures in
+   this document are complete, and at each subsequent annual meeting of
+   the IETF Trust (once new Trustees are seated), the Trustees shall
+   elect one Trustee to serve as IETF Trust Chair by a majority vote of
+   the IETF Trust.
+
+   Trustees appointed by the IETF NomCom may be recalled according to
+   the recall process described in [BCP10].  Trustees appointed by the
+   IESG or by the ISOC Board of Directors may be recalled by the
+   appointing body.  For appointments made by the IESG, the IESG is
+   expected to run an open selection process and to consider the
+   necessary skill set and conflicts of interest as part of that
+   process.
+
+4.  Security Considerations
+
+   This memo has no security implications for the Internet.
+
+5.  IANA Considerations
+
+   This document has no IANA actions.
