Re: [tlp-interest] Notice of Proposed Amendment to IETF Trust Bylaws

I have a minor concern with this definition:

“IETF” means the Internet Engineering Task Force as constituted in accordance with
their Best Current Practice (BCP) documents 9, 10, and 101 (BCP 9, BCP 10, BCP 101) and any
duly approved successor documents thereto.

If an additional BCP is written and approve that is not a successor to one of these BCPs, will the by-laws need to be amended to add it to this list?  Is there wording that would avoid that step?
