IETF AdminRest Homepage

Last Updated: 13-Feb-2005 |

This page attempts to capture the current state of the IETF Administrative Restructuring (AdminRest) effort. This effort involves formalizing the administrative support activities of the IETF, as discussed in RFC 3716. This page will be updated as the AdminRest activity evolves. |
|
There seems to be IETF consensus on pursuing an AdminRest plan based on the "Scenario O" proposal. "Scenario O" proposes that we organize the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) as an IETF-controlled activity under the Internet Society (ISOC) legal umbrella. Current AdminRest activities are focused on developing a "Scenario O"-based BCP proposal and preparing for the transition. |
|
BCP Proposal |
|
The proposal is currently captured in a proposed BCP that has
been posted for publication as an Internet-Draft
(draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-07.txt). The latest
version of this draft can be found in HTML format at:
draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-07.html.
|
|
We
are using an issue tracker to track comments and suggestions regarding
the proposed BCP. The issue tracker can be
found at: https://rt.psg.com
(userid: ietf, password: ietf, queue: iasa-bcp). |
|
AdminRest IASA Transition Plan |
|
The IASA
Transition Plan describes the steps we will use to determine community
consensus to pursue the "Scenario O"-based approach and handle the
transition to the IASA as described in the proposed BCP.
The current AdminRest IASA transition plan has been
captured in a separate web page. The latest version of this plan
can be found in HTML format here. |

Joint IAB/IESG Recommendation |
|
The IAB and IESG have published a joint recommendation to pursue a Scenario O-based approach for IETF administrative restructuring. This recommendation was also published as an Internet-Draft (draft-iab-iesg-adminrest-rec-00.txt). The latest version of this draft can be found in HTML format at: draft-iab-iesg-adminrest-rec-00.html. This was formally adopted by the IESG on December 16, 2004.
