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).Status of This Memo   This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is   published for informational purposes.

Introduction   The RFC Editor Model [RFC6635] defines a set of streams that produce   draft RFCs, which are submitted for publication.  This document   defines the management function for the Independent Submission   stream, specifically the role of Independent Submission Editor (ISE).   This document is a derivative of[RFC5620], Section 3.2, and was   separated out from [RFC6635].   This document obsoletes [RFC5620] in combination with [RFC6635].2.  Independent Submission Editor   The ISE is an individual who is responsible for the Independent   Submission stream of RFCs, as defined by [RFC4844].  The Independent   Submission stream and the ISE are not under the authority or   direction of the RSE or the RFC Series Oversight Committee (RSOC)   (see [RFC6635]).  As noted below, the ISE is appointed by and is   responsible directly to the IAB.2.1.  Qualifications   The ISE is a senior position for which the following qualifications   are desired:   1.  Technical competence, i.e., broad technical experience and       perspective across a wide range of Internet technologies and       applications, and also the ability to work effectively with       portions of that spectrum in which they have no personal       expertise.   2.  Thorough familiarity with the RFC series.Brownlee & IAB                Informational                     [Page 2]

RFC 6548           Independent Submission Editor Model         June 2012   3.  An ability to define and constitute advisory and document review       arrangements.  If those arrangements include an Editorial Board       similar to the current one or some equivalent arrangement, the       ability to assess the technical competence of potential Editorial       Board members (seeSection 3).   4.  Good standing in the technical community, in and beyond the IETF.   5.  Demonstrated editorial skills, good command of the English       language, and demonstrated history of being able to work       effectively with technical documents and materials created by       others.   6.  The ability to work effectively in a multi-actor environment with       divided authority and responsibility similar to that described in       [RFC6635].2.2.  Responsibilities   The ISE is an individual who may have assistants and who is   responsible for:   1.  Maintaining technical quality of the Independent Submission       stream.   2.  Reviewing, approving, and processing Independent Submissions.   3.  Forwarding draft RFCs in the Independent Submission stream to the       RFC Production Center.   4.  Defining and developing the scope of the Independent Submission       stream as a part of the overall RFC Editor function [RFC6635].   5.  Reviewing and approving RFC errata for Independent Submissions.   6.  Coordinating work and conforming to general RFC Series policies       as specified by the IAB and RSE.   7.  Providing statistics and documentation as requested by the RSE       and/or IAOC.   The ISE may choose to select individuals to participate in an   Advisory Board for assistance in special topics as the ISE deems   appropriate.  Such an Advisory Board exists at the pleasure of the   ISE, and its members serve at the pleasure of the ISE.Brownlee & IAB                Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 6548           Independent Submission Editor Model         June 2012   The individual with the listed qualifications is selected by the IAB   after input has been collected from the community.  An approach   similar to the one used by the IAB to select an IAOC member every   other year as described in [RFC4333] should be used.   While the ISE itself is considered a volunteer function, the IAB   considers maintaining the Independent Submission stream part of the   IAB's supported activities.  Therefore, the IAOC should include these   costs in the IASA budget.3.  Independent Submission Editorial Board   The ISE is supported by an Editorial Board for the review of   Independent Submission stream documents.  This board is known as the   Independent Submission Editorial Board.  This volunteer Editorial   Board exists at the pleasure of the ISE, and its members serve at the   pleasure of the ISE.  The existence of this board is simply noted   within this model, and additional discussion of such is considered   out of scope of this document.4.  Security Considerations   This document has no specific security implications, however the same   security considerations as those in [RFC4846] and [RFC4844] apply.5.
