The RFC Series Working Group (RSWG) produces policy proposals for the RFC Series as a whole. As described in RFC 9280[1], the IESG is responsible for appointing one of the RSWG Chairs for a two-year term that begins at IETF 123:

   The RSWG shall have two chairs, one appointed by the IESG and the
   other appointed by the IAB.  When the RSWG is formed, the chair
   appointed by the IESG shall serve for a term of one (1) year and the
   chair appointed by the IAB shall serve for a term of two (2) years;
   thereafter, chairs shall serve for a term of two (2) years, with no
   term limits on renewal. 

The IESG has reappointed Russ Housley[2] to this role. The IESG thanks Russ for his willingness to continue to serve the community in this capacity. 

Best regards,
IESG Secretary
