1. Summary
The document shepherd is Alexey Melnikov. The Responsible Area Director is Jari Arkko.
This document removes a limit on the number of Area Directors who
manage an Area in the definition of "IETF Area". This document
updates RFC 2026 (BCP 9) and RFC 2418 (BCP 25).
As the document updates existing BCPs, it is suitable that it is also a BCP.
2. Review and Consensus
This document was reviewed by several current and former IESG members and generally
has support from the community.
The document had enough reviews.
One comment raised suggested that increasing the number of ADs beyond 2 should
not make IESG too big to become less effective in its main job. This comment
was addressed.
3. Intellectual Property
No IPR disclosures have been submitted and authors have indicated they are not aware
of any other IPR issues.
4. Other Points
The document (correctly) has no IANA considerations.
