Re: [Rfced-future] Document for IAB consideration: draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfc-model-11

[Cindy Morgan <[e-mail]>]

At their meeting earlier today, the IAB agreed to send a Call for Comments (IAB version of IETF Last Call) on draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfc-model. This will have a wider-than-normal distribution that includes IETF-Announce, IRTF-Announce and RFC-interest.

The IAB also noted that this Call for Comments should go out at the same time as the IETF Last Calls on draft-carpenter-rfced-iab-charter, draft-rosen-rfcefdp-update-2026, and draft-rsalz-2028bis. Lars (as AD sponsor for those docs) and I (as the Secretariat person who will be pushing the appropriate buttons in the Datatracker for all 4 of these docs) are coordinating.

Thanks,
Cindy

That means that RFC 4845 governs, and as I mentioned in the Fall, it's up to the board, not the program, to decide in the end how to weigh community input.  It has been my consistent advice that the board broadly consult, including the IETF, IRTF, and others, because, in my view, this program believes that's the right thing to do (I don't disagree).  The IESG will have to approve changes to the IAB charter, 2028, and a slight tweak to 2026.
