1. Introduction
In version 3 of the RFC Editor Model defined by [RFC9280], the RFC
Series is governed by its own mechanisms. This requires a
modification to the Internet Architecture Board Charter [RFC2850].
Also, RFC 2850 states that the RFC Editor appoints a liaison member
to the IAB. This is no longer necessary.
2. Changed Text
In Section 1.2 ("Ex-Officio and Liaison members") of [RFC2850], the
phrase "the RFC Editor," is deleted.
In Section 2 ("The Role of the IAB") of [RFC2850], under the heading
"(d) RFC Series and IANA", the following sentence:
| The IAB must approve the appointment of an organization to act as
| RFC Editor and the general policy followed by the RFC Editor.
is replaced by:
| The RFC Editor function is defined under the authority of the IAB
| by [RFC9280].
3. Approval
This document is published as an IETF Best Current Practice. It has
also been approved by the IAB and acknowledged by the Board of
Trustees of the Internet Society.
4. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
5. Security Considerations
This document should not affect the security of the Internet.
