(d) RFC Series and IANA

The RFC Editor executes editorial management and publication of
the IETF "Request for Comment" (RFC) document series, which is
the permanent document repository of the IETF.  The RFC Series
constitutes the archival publication channel for Internet 
Standards and for other contributions by the Internet research 
and engineering community.  RFCs are available free of charge to
anyone via the Internet.  The IAB must approve the appointment 
of an organization to act as RFC Editor and the general policy
followed by the RFC Editor.
