Internet Architecture Board (IAB) O. Kolkman, Ed. Request for Comments: 6635 Obsoletes: 5620 J. Halpern, Ed. Category: Informational Ericsson ISSN: 2070-1721 IAB June 2012 RFC Editor Model (Version 2) Abstract 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 Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) and the RSOC. This document reflects the experience gained with "RFC Editor Model (Version 1)", documented in RFC 5620, and obsoletes that document.
