Good point. I suggest adding the following sentence to Section 3.1.2.2: "The RFC Series Consulting Editor (RSCE) is a voting member of the RSAB but does not act as a representative of the Editorial Stream." >>> Section 4.4 >>> >>> * The disagreement might raise a new issue that is not covered by an >>> existing policy or that cannot be resolved through consultation >>> between the RPC and other relevant individuals and bodies, as >>> described above.

I'm curious why you think so - the text seems clear to me that this is not a new policy but a one-off, temporary workaround to get the relevant IETF/IAB/IRTF/ISE RFC published before a new policy is defined in the RSWG. >> There is formulating and interpreting; the former is proscribed, and the >> latter is circumscribed to operational necessity.

Right. I suggest: OLD appropriate review of RSWG proposals NEW appropriate review of RSWG proposals as further described under {{workflow}}. >>> Section 3.2.3 >>> >>> The RSAB is responsible for considering comments received during a >>> community call for comments.

To clarify even further, there are two stages here: RSWG review and community call for comments. The RSWG chairs manage the first of these, the RSAB manages the second. Peter
