You can find the = proposed description of the new structure and procedures on Github [1]. = The aim of this effort is to increase transparency, visibility, and = openness of the architectural work done by the IAB.=20 In analysing the current IAB programs, the IAB identified two kinds of = programs which are quite different in their needs and goals. Therefore, = the new structure proposes to separate today=E2=80=99s IAB programs into = Technical Programs and Administrative Support Groups.=20 Technical Programs are more short-lived activities (even though this = might be longer than one IAB cycle) and focus on specific technical or = architectural issues that require both input from experts as well as = community discussion. Current Technical Programs are model-t and EDM.=20 Administrative Support Groups are long-term activities that help the IAB = to fulfil their oversight or administrative responsibilities. Based on = the nature of their task these groups usually consist of a small, = dedicated set of experts that may have a need to handle matters = confidentially. Administrative Support Groups are the current technical = plenary program, the IANA program, and the liaison program. Please note = that the IAB is also in the progress of reviewing these activities.=20 RSOC could also be considered as an Administrative Support Group; = however, given the on-going process in the future RFC editor model = program, the IAB will not implement any changes or actions on RSOC until = this process has concluded. Further, the future RFC editor model program is not considered in this = new structure. The IAB is not intending to implement any changes or = intervene in any way with the work of the program. We believe that this new structure will better support the IAB=E2=80=99s = needs and hopefully clarify procedures and expectation. Further, we hope = that this will also help to increase the exchange with the community! Please provide feedback on this mailing list, on GitHub by raising an = issue, or directly to the IAB .
