Hi

RFC 8875 sets out a plan for how GitHub repositories should be managed =
and gives the Secretariat and Tools Team various tasks and =
responsibilities.  As it stands there are two issues with this.  One is =
the high administrative of multiple organisations and repositories.  The =
second is the limited access to features provided by the free tier, such =
as the Audit API, which are useful for tools integrations.

To address this we are in the process of taking up a GitHub Enterprise =
license.  An enterprise account gives the following features:

- access to the Audit API that let=E2=80=99s us pull records of =
everything for archiving
- allows the creation of unlimited organisations and public repositories =
under this account.  We can assign whoever we want to manage those =
without them requiring a license while the Secretariat remains an owner =
for when an admin change is needed.
- existing organisations can be included under this account if they =
choose to move to the account
- all the repositories under the account switch from having their own =
local licensing terms to central licensing terms, which will be =
https://trustee.ietf.org/license-for-open-source-repositories.html to =
comply with RFC 8875 (when that link is fixed)

This basically provides the features the Secretariat and Tools Team need =
to deliver RFC 8875.  It is also quite cheap as we can use the minimum =
10 user license pack provided that we don=E2=80=99t do anything with =
private repositories, which would change the licensing dramatically. =20

Please let me know if you have any questions.
