[rfc-i] new draft summarizing updated Transitional RFC Editor recommendations now available

Jumping in with both feet :-)

Thanks -- I think this structure will be easier to work from for discussion.

Before getting to too many specifics, like Olaf I'd like to understand 
what the REOC is.    Outlined in 5.1, the RFC Editor Oversight Committee 
has a list of duties, but no stated purpose.

All I get from the document is:

>  The Series Editor reports to the REOC

which is then adjusted in 5.1.3

> 5.1.3.  The Series Editor and the REOC
> 
>    The RSE will report to the regular (non-liaison) membership of the
>    REOC.

and 5.1.2
>  The REOC will be a small committee, defined by the IAB.  Terms will
>    be two years renewable (with several one year terms initi
[...]
>  The REOC will elect its chair among the regular (non-liaison)
>    members.

with no definition of "liaison members".

and

> 6.1.  Disagreements between RFC Editor Components and Model
>       Participants
> 
[snip]

and various other references to roles in dispute management -- though 
_those_ duties are not in the list elaborated in 5.1.1.

If I piece things together:

	. REOC is appointed by IAB, not RSE (as opposed to the
	  all-but-devoiced RSAG, which is an RSE-appointed committee)

	. REOC is a broad base of backing support for the RSE (in all
	  the duties listed)

	. REOC is where the RSE reports, but the IAOC is still footing
	  the bill/signing the contract

I'm uncertain how the last bit can work -- the IAOC has to have some 
level of responsibility for the RSE (e.g., RSE reports to).  If the 
issue is that you don't want the RSE reporting to the IAD, how about:

	IAOC has an RFC Editor subcommittee, with ?? members appointed
	by the IAOC, and ?? members appointed by the IAB by another
	process, and the RSE as ex officio member.

	The RFC Editor subcommittee's role is to make recommendations to
	the IAOC for matters impacting contractual relations, including
	the selection and review of the RSE.

And then in section 2.2

> Determining the acceptability of various
>    implementations is the responsibility of the RFC Series Editor and
>    the IAOC, in consultation with the Policy Council.

I didn't see Policy Council defined anywhere.

Thanks,
Leslie.
