Distribution of this memo is + unlimited. + +Section 1. + + The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) shall be constituted and shall + operate as a technical advisory group of the Internet Society. Its + responsibilities shall include: + + (1) Expert and experienced oversight of the architecture of the + worldwide multiprotocol Internet. + + (2) The editorial management and publication of the Request for + Comments (RFC) document series, which constitutes the + archival publication series for Internet Standards and + related contributions by the Internet research and + engineering community. + + (3) The development, review, and approval of Internet + Standards, according to a well-defined and documented set + of "Procedures for Internet Standardization". Internet + Standards shall be published in the form of specifications + as part of the RFC series. + + (4) The provision of advice and guidance to the Board of Trustees + and Officers of the Internet Society concerning technical, + architectural, procedural, and (where appropriate) policy + matters pertaining to the Internet and its enabling + technologies. + + (5) Representation of the interests of the Internet Society in + liaison relationships with other organizations. + + The IAB may be charged with additional responsibilities within the + Internet Society, or undertake additional specific activities from + time to time, as the needs and requirements of the Internet Society + demand. + + + + +IAB [Page 1] + +RFC 1358 Charter of the IAB August 1992 + + +Section 2. + + The IAB shall consist of a number of members not to exceed 15. + Members of the IAB shall serve in that capacity as individuals, and + not as representatives of any company, agency, or other organization. + Individuals shall be nominated for membership by: + + (a) the IAB; + + (b) the President of the Internet Society; + + (c) the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society; or + + (d) a duly executed petition of at least 1% of the current + membership of the Internet Society, or, if the current + membership of the Society exceeds 15,000, of at least 150 + members, delivered to and validated by the Secretary of + the Society. + + The Internet Society Board of Trustees shall approve or disapprove + such a nomination within 60 days. Approval shall be by the + affirmative vote of at least three-fifths of the members of the Board + of Trustees then in office. + + Any member of the IAB may be replaced by the Board of Trustees, by + the affirmative vote of at least four-fifths of the members of the + Board of Trustees then in office, whenever in their judgement the + best interests of the Society will be served thereby. A member of + the IAB shall also be replaced, upon the confirming vote of a + majority of the members of the Board of Trustees then in office, if + and when a duly executed petition of at least 5% of the voting + membership of the Internet Society is delivered to and validated by + the Secretary of the Society. The vote of the Board of Trustees, and + any action pursuant to that vote, shall be taken no later than at the + next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following the date on + which the Secretary declares the receipt of a valid petition. + + The Board of Trustees shall review each IAB member's contribution to + the IAB at three-year intervals, and shall at that time explicitly + reaffirm or revoke the membership. There is no limit to the number + of times the Board of Trustees may reaffirm the membership of any + individual IAB member. However, it is expected that the decision to + reaffirm or revoke will be reached with respect to the current + composition of the IAB as a whole, and the extent to which the goals + and requirements of the Internet Society are served by the IAB as + then currently constituted. + + + + + +IAB [Page 2] + +RFC 1358 Charter of the IAB August 1992 + + + Whenever the Board of Trustees determines that a vacancy exists on + the IAB, it shall circulate among the membership of the Internet + Society, by electronic mail, a call for nominations, specifying a + closing date for nominations to be received by the Secretary of the + Society that is no less than 30 days after the date on which the call + is circulated. At its discretion, the Board may also circulate the + call for nominations among the membership of the Society my means + other than electronic mail, and may also advertise or circulate the + call by such other means and among the members of such other groups + as it sees fit and appropriate. + +Section 3. + + The IAB may create and empower task forces, committees, and working + groups, as it sees fit, to carry out activities that fall within the + scope of the IAB's responsibilities. The initial task forces of the + IAB are the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet + Research Task Force (IRTF). + +Section 4. + + The Internet Society shall provide support for secretariat functions + that are required by the IAB or its task forces, committees, and + working groups, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees.
