Introduction + + The RFC Editor Model [RFC8728] defines a set of streams that produce + draft RFCs, which are submitted for publication. This document + defines the management function for the Independent Submission + stream, specifically the role of Independent Submission Editor (ISE). + + The previous version of this document [RFC6548] is a derivative of + [RFC5620], Section 3.2, and was separated out from [RFC6635]. + + This document updates the Independent Submission Editor Model to + align it with the IASA 2.0 structure [RFC8711] that creates the IETF + Administration Limited Liability Company ("LLC") managed by a board + of directors ("LLC Board"). This document obsoletes [RFC6548]. + +2. Independent Submission Editor + + The ISE is an individual who is responsible for the Independent + Submission stream of RFCs, as defined by [RFC8729]. The Independent + Submission stream and the ISE are not under the authority or + direction of the RSE or the RFC Series Oversight Committee (RSOC) + (see [RFC8728]). As noted below, the ISE is appointed by and is + responsible directly to the IAB. + +2.1. Qualifications + + The ISE is a senior position for which the following qualifications + are desired: + + 1. Technical competence, i.e., broad technical experience and + perspective across a wide range of Internet technologies and + applications, and also the ability to work effectively with + portions of that spectrum in which they have no personal + expertise. + + 2. Thorough familiarity with the RFC series. + + 3. An ability to define and constitute advisory and document review + arrangements. If those arrangements include an Editorial Board + similar to the current one or some equivalent arrangement, the + ability to assess the technical competence of potential Editorial + Board members (see Section 3). + + 4. Good standing in the technical community, in and beyond the IETF. + + 5. Demonstrated editorial skills, good command of the English + language, and demonstrated history of being able to work + effectively with technical documents and materials created by + others. + + 6. The ability to work effectively in a multi-actor environment with + divided authority and responsibility similar to that described in + [RFC6635]. + +2.2. Responsibilities + + The ISE is an individual who may have assistants and who is + responsible for: + + 1. Maintaining technical quality of the Independent Submission + stream. + + 2. Reviewing, approving, and processing Independent Submissions. + + 3. Forwarding draft RFCs in the Independent Submission stream to the + RFC Production Center. + + 4. Defining and developing the scope of the Independent Submission + stream as a part of the overall RFC Editor function [RFC6635]. + + 5. Reviewing and approving RFC errata for Independent Submissions. + + 6. Coordinating work and conforming to general RFC Series policies + as specified by the IAB and RSE. + + 7. Providing statistics and documentation as requested by the RSE + and/or LLC. + + The ISE may choose to select individuals to participate in an + Advisory Board for assistance in special topics as the ISE deems + appropriate. Such an Advisory Board exists at the pleasure of the + ISE, and its members serve at the pleasure of the ISE. + + The individual with the listed qualifications is selected by the IAB + after input has been collected from the community. + + While the ISE itself is considered a volunteer function, the IAB + considers maintaining the Independent Submission stream part of the + IAB's supported activities. Therefore, the LLC should include these + costs in the IASA budget. + +3. Independent Submission Editorial Board + + The ISE is supported by an Editorial Board for the review of + Independent Submission stream documents. This board is known as the + Independent Submission Editorial Board. This volunteer Editorial + Board exists at the pleasure of the ISE, and its members serve at the + pleasure of the ISE. The existence of this board is simply noted + within this model, and additional discussion of such is considered + out of scope of this document. + +4. Security Considerations + + This document has no specific security implications, however the same + security considerations as those in [RFC4846] and [RFC8729] apply. + +5. References + +5.1.
