<abstract> | ||||
<t>The IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) was originally | ||||
established in 2005. In the years since then, the needs of the IETF evolved in w | ||||
ays that required changes to its administrative structure. The purpose of this R | ||||
FC is to document and describe the IETF Administrative Support Activity, version | ||||
2.0 (IASA 2.0). It defines the roles and responsibilities of the IETF Administr | ||||
ation LLC Board (IETF LLC Board), the IETF Executive Director, and the Internet | ||||
Society in the fiscal and administrative support of the IETF standards process. | ||||
It also defines the membership and selection rules for the IETF LLC Board.</t> | ||||
