I think it should remain an RFC in the current style.  I think it’s an important element for ISOC and think it is useful to be documented in an RFC.

Further, the ISOC By-laws don’t change very often, from a practical point of view we don’t need to be concerned this document will need to be updated very often.  The last ISOC by-laws change that this update is dealing with took several years to go from conception to adoption
