Assuming we agree that the details of the agreement with the RSE are up to 
the LLC, I agree.

But RFC 6635 says "The RFC Production Center function is performed by a 
paid contractor," and " The RFC Production Center contractor is to be 
selected through an IASA Request for Proposal (RFP) process as described 
in Section 4.1." and " The RFC Publisher contractor is to be selected 
through an IASA RFP process as described in Section 4.1."

I think the current RFC people are doing a swell job but I would like us 
to give the LLC the latitude to structure things however makes sense.  At 
this point, we have a contractor which hires its staff but at some point 
it might make sense for the LLC to hire staff without an intermediary.
