Dear Colleagues,

In addition, I would like to highlight some important updates:

New Independent Submission Editor (ISE): Eliot Lear
------------
The IAB appointed Eliot Lear as the new Independent Submission Editor (ISE). Welcome Eliot and thanks for serving the community in this role!

There was a very good set of candidates for this position and the IAB would also like to thank all volunteers that were nominated and willing to serve in this role!

Adrian Farrel decided to step down after serving four years as in this role. The IAB thanks Adrian for his service as the Independent Submissions Editor (ISE) and his enthusiastic engagement in this role, thereby supporting the IETF community to ensure that all voices can be heard!

RFC Editor Model (Version 3) ready for approval 
------------
The RFC Editor Future Development Program (https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/rfcefdp/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/rfcefdp/>) concluded its work and handed draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model (RFC Editor Model (Version 3) to the IAB for progression an Informational RFC on the IAB stream in early February. After a four week community call, on 2022-03-09, the IAB reviewed draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-12. With consideration of all feedback in coordination with the program chairs, the document editor, and the program itself recently draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-13 was published that incorporates remaining editorial changes. 

The final version of the new RFC Editor Model (Version 3) will be approved and published together with three related documents in the the IETF stream: draft-carpenter-rfced-iab-charter (IAB Charter Update for RFC Editor Model), draft-rsalz-2028bis (Entities Involved in the IETF Standards Process), and draft-rosen-rfcefdp-update-2026 (RFC Series Responsibility Change). 

As part of the new RFC Editor Model (Version 3) <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model/>, the IAB and IESG are tasked with appointing one chair each to the RFC Series Working Group (RSWG). The IAB and IESG issued a joint call for nominations/volunteers for the RSWG Chairs <https://www.iab.org/2022/03/14/iab-and-iesg-search-for-rfc-series-working-group-rswg-chairs/> on 2022-03-14. If you are interested or would like to nominate someone, please send a message with the name and email address of the nominee to [email-masked] <mailto:[email-masked]>. The nominations deadline is 2022-04-18.
