I am traveling and will have to wait until next week to review the draft, but I share some of Brian's concerns. In two words, staff capture. The RSE  performs a mix of production functions and policy functions -- supervising the machinery of RFC publishing through the RFC production and publication on one hand, driving format evolution and other publication policies on the other hand.

I can debate staff versus contract decisions for the production functions, but I would have strong reservations in moving policy functions to a staff position -- this would be a first step on the path to staff capture.
