      This document describes the function and responsibilities
      of the RFC Independent Submission Editor (ISE).
      The Independent Submission stream is one of the stream producers
      that create draft RFCs,
      with the ISE as its stream approver.
      The ISE is overall responsible for activities within
      the Independent Submission stream, working with draft editors and
      reviewers, and interacts with the RFC Production Center
      and Publisher, and the RFC Series Editor (RSE).
      The ISE is appointed by the IAB, and also interacts
      with the

            <abstract>
              <t>There is a long-standing tradition in the Internet community, predating the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) by many years, of use of the RFC Series to publish materials that are not rooted in the IETF standards process and its review and approval mechanisms. These documents, known as "Independent Submissions", serve a number of important functions for the Internet community, both inside and outside of the community of active IETF participants.  This document discusses the Independent Submission model and some reasons why it is important.  It then describes editorial and processing norms that can be used for Independent Submissions as the community goes forward into new relationships between the IETF community and its primary technical publisher.  This memo provides information for the Internet community.</t>

              <t>This document describes the function and responsibilities of the RFC Independent Submission Editor (ISE).  The Independent Submission stream is one of the stream producers that create draft RFCs, with the ISE as its stream approver.  The ISE is overall responsible for activities within the Independent Submission stream, working with draft editors and reviewers, and interacts with the RFC Production Center and Publisher, and the RFC Series Editor (RSE).  The ISE is appointed by the IAB, and also interacts with the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC).  This document is not an Internet  Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.</t>

              <t>The RFC Editor performs a number of functions that may be carried out by various persons or entities.  The RFC Editor model presented in this document divides the responsibilities for the RFC Series into four functions: The RFC Series Editor, the Independent Submission Editor, the RFC Production Center, and the RFC Publisher.  It also introduces the RFC Series Advisory Group and an (optional) Independent Submission Stream Editorial Board.  The model outlined here is intended to increase flexibility and operational support options, provide for the orderly succession of the RFC Editor, and ensure the continuity of the RFC series, while maintaining RFC quality and timely processing, ensuring document accessibility, reducing costs, and increasing cost transparency.  This memo  provides information for the Internet community.</t>

              <t>The RFC Editor model described in this document divides the responsibilities for the RFC Series into three functions: the RFC Series Editor, the RFC Production Center, and the RFC Publisher. Internet Architecture Board (IAB) oversight via the RFC Series Oversight Committee (RSOC) is described, as is the relationship between the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) and the RSOC.  This document reflects the experience gained with "RFC Editor Model (Version 1)", documented in RFC 5620, and obsoletes that document.
