Structure of the IETF Administrative Support Activity, Version 2.0
draft-ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis-10
Abstract
The IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) was originally
established in 2005. In the years since then, the needs of the IETF
evolved in ways that required changes to its administrative
structure. The purpose of this document is to document and describe
the IETF Administrative Support Activity, version 2 (IASA 2.0). It
defines the roles and responsibilities of the IETF Administrative LLC
Board, the IETF Executive Director, and the Internet Society in the
fiscal and administrative support of the IETF standards process. It
also defines the membership and selection rules for the IETF
Administrative LLC Board.
This document obsoletes RFC 4071, RFC 4333, and RFC 7691.
