Process Document Consolidation (procon) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current status: Proposed WG Chairs: Jari Arkko <[email protected]> Assigned Area Director: Roman Danyliw <[email protected]> General Area Directors: Roman Danyliw <[email protected]> Mailing list: Address: [email protected] To subscribe: https://mailman3.ietf.org/mailman3/lists/procon.ietf.org/ Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/procon Group page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/procon/ Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-procon/ The Process Document Consolidation (PROCON) WG will make narrow updates to IETF governance RFCs. # Standards Processes and Procedures RFC2026 (“The Internet Standards Process – Revision 3”) and RFC2418 (“IETF Working Group Guidelines and Procedures”) define the foundational processes and procedures of the IETF. Since publication over two decades ago, over 20 RFCs have updated RFC2026 and RFC2418 making understanding of these processes and procedures unwieldy. This WG will specify a RFC2026bis and RFC2418bis that will merge all documents which update these RFCs, and any associated verified or hold-for-update errata. Additionally, the WG may consider revising procedures in RFC2026/RFC2418 (i.e., non-editorial changes) around: * Treatment of milestones in Working Group charters * Guidelines for WG adoption of drafts Any additional items require re-chartering. # Delegation of Authorities by the IETF Chair The WG will specify a BCP to provide the IETF Chair latitude to voluntarily delegate select responsibilities to other serving Area Directors. This BCP will also define a temporary succession plan, prior to the NomCom being able to fill a "mid-term vacancy", in case the IETF Chair is unable to serve for any reason. Milestones: Jun 2026 - Submit RFC2026bis to the IESG as BCP Jun 2026 - Submit RFC2418bis to the IESG as BCP Jun 2026 - Submit a delegation of IETF Chair authorities document to the IESG as BCP _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
