Hello,

Under RFC 8730 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8730>, the
Internet Architecture Board (IAB <https://www.iab.org/>) is responsible for
appointing the Independent Submissions Editor (ISE
<https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/ise/>). The IAB is seeking community
input on the capabilities, attributes, and expectations it should consider
when selecting a future ISE.

This survey is not an evaluation of the current or past ISE, nor is it a
vote on the Independent Stream model itself. Your responses will inform the
IAB’s thinking as it develops criteria for evaluating future candidates.
The appointment of the ISE remains an IAB decision.

Survey: https://ietf.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_56xEJ1nYVXLT326

Feel free to forward this to others you think are part of the broader
RFC/Independent Stream audience.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your input.

Dhruv Dhody

IAB Chair (for the IAB)
