TheModelmodel defines two high-level tasks related to the RFC Series. First, policy definition is the joint responsibility of the RFC Series Working Group (RSWG), which produces policy proposals, and the RFC Series Approval Board (RSAB), which approves such proposals. Second, policy implementation is primarily the responsibility of the RFC Production Center (RPC) as contractually overseen by the IETF Administration Limited Liability Company (IETF LLC). In addition, various responsibilities of the"RFCRFC EditorFunction"function are now performed alone or in combination by the RSWG, RSAB, RPC, RFC Series Consulting Editor (RSCE), and IETF LLC. Finally, this document establishes the Editorial Stream for publication of future policy definition documents produced through the processes defined herein.</t> <t>This document obsoletes RFC 8728.

RFCs are available free of charge to anyone via the Internet. As described in <xref target="RFC8700"/>, RFCs have been published continually since 1969.</t> <t>RFCs are generated and approved by multiple document streams. Whereas the stream approving body <xref target="RFC8729"/> for each stream is responsible for the content of that stream, the RFC EditorFunctionfunction is responsible for the production and distribution of all RFCs. The four existing streams are described in <xref target="RFC8729"/>. This document adds a fifth stream, the Editorial Stream, for publication of policies governing the RFC Series as a whole.</t> <t>The overall framework for the RFC Series and the RFC EditorFunctionfunction is described in <xref target="RFC8729"/> and is updated by this document, which defines version 3 of the RFC Editor Model. Under this version, various responsibilities of the RFC EditorFunctionfunction are performed alone or in combination by the RFC Series Working Group (RSWG), RFC Series Advisory Board (RSAB), RFC Production Center (RPC), RFC Series Consulting Editor (RSCE), and IETF Administration Limited Liability Company (IETF LLC) <xref target="RFC8711"/>, which collectively comprise the RFC EditorFunction.function. The intent is to ensure sustainable maintenance and support of the RFC Series based on the principles of expert implementation, clear management and direction, and appropriate community input <xref target="RFC8729"/>.</t> <t>This document obsoletes <xref target="RFC8728"/> by defining version 3 of the RFC Editor Model. This document updates <xref target="RFC7841"/> by defining boilerplate text for the Editorial Stream. This document updates <xref target="RFC8729"/> by replacing the RFC Editor role with the RSWG, RSAB, and RSCE. This document updates <xref target="RFC8730"/> by removing the dependency on certain policies specified by the IAB and RFC Series Editor (RSE).

The general expectation is that all interested parties will participate in theRSWG,RSWG and that only under extreme circumstances should RSAB members need to hold"CONCERN"CONCERN positions (as describedunderin <xref target="workflow"/>).</t> <t>Because policy issues can be difficult and contentious, RSWG participants and RSAB members are strongly encouraged to work together in a spirit of good faith and mutual understanding to achieve rough consensus (see <xref target="RFC2418"/>). In particular, RSWG members are encouraged to take RSAB concerns seriously, and RSAB members are encouraged to clearly express their concerns early in the process and to be responsive to the community. All parties are encouraged to respect the value of each stream and the long-term health and viability of the RFC Series.</t> <t>This process is intended to be one of continuous consultation. RSAB members should consult with their constituent stakeholders (e.g., authors, editors, tool developers, and consumers of RFCs) on an ongoing basis, so that when the time comes to consider the approval of a proposal, there should be no surprises. Appointing bodies are expected to establish whatever processes they deem appropriate to facilitate this goal.</t> </section> <section anchor="workflow"> <name>Workflow</name> <t>The following process shall be used to formulate or modify policies related to the RFC Series:</t> <ol spacing="normal" type="1"><li>An individual or set of individuals generates a proposal in the form of an Internet-Draft (which must be submitted in full conformance with the provisions of <xref target="BCP78"/> and <xref target="BCP79"/>) and asks the RSWG to adopt the proposal as a working group item.</li> <li>The RSWG may adopt the proposal as adraft proposal of the RSWG,working group item if the chairs determine (by following working group procedures for rough consensus) that there is sufficient interest in the proposal; this is similar to the way a working group of the IETF would operate (see <xref target="RFC2418"/>).</li> <li>The RSWG shall then further discuss and develop the proposal. All participants, but especially RSAB members, should pay special attention to any aspects of the proposal that have the potential to significantly modify long-standing policiesof long standingor historical characteristics of the RFC Series as describedunderin <xref target="properties"/>. Members of the RSAB are expected to participate as individuals in all discussions relating to RSWG proposals. This should help to ensure that they are fully aware of proposals early in thepolicy definition process.RFC Series Policy Definition Process. It should also help to ensure that RSAB members will raise any issues or concerns during the development of theproposal,proposal and not wait until the RSAB review period. The RSWGchairsChairs are also expected to participate as individuals.</li> <li>At some point, if the RSWGchairsChairs believe there may be rough consensus for the proposal to advance, they will issue alast callLast Call for comments within the working group.</li> <li>After a comment period of suitable length, the RSWGchairsChairs will determine whether rough consensus for the proposal exists (taking their own feedback as individuals into account along with feedback from other participants). If comments have been received and substantial changes have been made, additionallast callsLast Calls may be necessary. Once the chairs determine that consensus has been reached, they shall announce their determination on the RSWG email discussion list and forward the document to the RSAB.</li> <li>Once consensus is established in the RSWG, the RSAB shall issue a community call for comments as further describedunderin <xref target="cfc"/>. If substantial comments are received in response to the community call for comments, the RSAB may return thedraftproposal to the RSWG to consider those comments and make revisions to address the feedback received. In parallel with the community call for comments, the RSAB itself shall also consider the proposal.</li> <li>If the scope of the revisions made in the previous step is substantial, an additional community call for comments should be issued by the RSAB, and the feedback received should be considered by the RSWG.</li> <li>Once the RSWGchairsChairs confirm that concerns received during the community call(s) for comments have been addressed, they shall inform the RSAB that the document is ready for balloting by the RSAB.</li> <li><t>Within<t anchor="step9">Within a reasonable period of time, the RSAB willthenpoll its members for their positions on the proposal.

Nevertheless, the RSWG might not be able to come to consensus on modifications that will address the RSAB member's concern. </t> <t> There are three reasons why an RSAB member may file a position of CONCERN: </t> <ul spacing="normal"> <li>The RSAB member believes that the proposal represents a serious problem for one or more of the individual streams.</li> <li>The RSAB member believes that the proposal would cause serious harm to the overall RFC Series, including harm to the long-term health and viability of the Series.</li> <li>The RSAB member believes, based on the results of the community call(s) for comments<xref target="cfc"/>,(<xref target="cfc"/>), that rough consensus to advance the proposal is lacking.</li> </ul> <t> Because RSAB members are expected to participate in the discussions within the RSWG and to raise any concerns and issues during those discussions, most CONCERN positions should not come as a surprise to the RSWG. Notwithstanding, late CONCERN positions are always possible if issues are identified during RSAB review or the community call(s) for comments.</t> </li> <li>If a CONCERN exists, discussion will take place within the RSWG. Again, all RSAB members are expected to participate. If substantial changes are made in order to address CONCERN positions, an additional community call for comments might be needed.</li> <li>A proposal without any CONCERN positions is approved.</li> <li>If, after a suitable period of time, any CONCERN positions remain, a vote of the RSAB is taken. If at least three voting members vote YES, the proposal is approved.</li> <li>If the proposal is not approved, it is returned to the RSWG. The RSWG can then consider making further changes.</li> <li>If the proposal is approved, a notification is sent to the community, and the document enters the queue for publication as an RFC within the Editorial Stream.</li> <li>Policies may take effect immediately upon approval by the RSAB and before publication of the relevant RFC, unless they are delayed while the IETF LLC resolves pending resource or contract issues.</li> </ol> </section> <section anchor="cfc"> <name>Community Calls for Comment</name> <t>The RSAB is responsible for initiating and managing community calls for comments on proposals that have gained consensus within the RSWG.
