Could you elaborate more on how your position relates to the BCP 25
description of "Document Editor"?  §6.3 of RFC 2418 has:

   Most IETF working groups focus their efforts on a document, or set of
   documents, that capture the results of the group's work.  A working
   group generally designates a person or persons to serve as the Editor
   for a particular document.  The Document Editor is responsible for
   ensuring that the contents of the document accurately reflect the
   decisions that have been made by the working group.

Thanks,

Ben
