This document identifies jobs originally assigned to the IETF Executive Director in existing IETF processes, and in most cases re-assigns them formally to the IETF Secretariat. It concerns RFC 2028, 2418, 3005, 3710, 3777, 3929, and 3979.
1. Introduction
BCP 101 [RFC4071] requires the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee to "designate, in consultation with the IAB and the IESG, the person or people who carry out the tasks that other IETF process documents say are carried out by the IETF Executive Director. " The purpose of this document is to document the agreed designations.
The RFCs concerned by this document are all those that have not already been obsoleted which assign tasks to the IETF Executive Director (sometimes abbreviated as ExecD). Note that there is no relationship to the IAB Executive Director.
In general the tasks concerned are well defined and closely linked to other duties of the IETF Secretariat. Therefore, in what follows, almost all of them are re-assigned to the Secretariat. It is expected that they will normally be performed by a member of staff in the Secretariat.
