1. Summary
draft-ietf-iasa2-consolidated-upd makes a number of minor terminology changes
to a large number of existing process RFCs in order to reflect the changes to
the administration of the IETF documented in the IASA 2.0 WG. For the most
part, these are changes that reflect the new distinction between the Executive
Director of the LLC role and the Managing Director of the Secretariat. These
language updates ensure the consistency of existing IETF process documents with
the updated structure of IASA 2.0.
draft-ietf-iasa2-consolidated-upd will, if approved update RFCs 2028, 2418,
3005, 3710, 3929, 4633, and 6702. In order to update those documents, the
IASA2.0 WG has asked for publication of this document as a BCP.
2. Review and Consensus
This document was thoroughly reviewed by the IASA2.0 WG. It was the result of a
suggestion that attempted to prevent the working group from burdening the RFC
series (and the IESG) with a number of very small updates to several documents.
There was considerable discussion about which documents warranted an
independent RFC and which could be bundled into this consolidated update. No
worrisome issues arose in WGLC, and a post-WGLC version was issued to address
minor comments. The chairs believe this document has strong support from the WG.
3. Intellectual Property
This document is not a protocol specification and it contains no technical
solutions that might require a disclosure.
4. Other Points
IDnits complains that the Abstract does not enumerate the several RFCs that
this document updates or obsoletes. Some of those documents are informational,
but are listed in the "Normative References" section as those documents are
changed (or destroyed) by this specification. This throws a number of downref
flags in IDnits, but is unlikely to cause any actual confusion.
