RFC 8728: RFC Editor Model (Version 2)
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9280.
Current document in this lineage: RFC 8730 — Independent Submission Editor Model; RFC 9920 — RFC Editor Model (Version 3)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
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.
