NOTE NOTE NOTE This document is a work in progress. Although it is
intended to describe consensus forged in the RFCED-Future Program,
many aspects are not yet settled; as a result, this document contains

defined the RFC Editor Model (Version 1) and in 2012 [RFC6635]
defined the RFC Editor Model (Version 2), since modified slightly in

four primary functions: the IETF Administration LLC (IETF LLC), the
