As always in this mail I would like to highlight some recents activities:

IAB Workshop on Analysing IETF Data (AID): Nov 29- Dec 2, online
------------
The IAB is organizing a workshop on Analysing IETF Data (AID) from Nov 29 to Dec 2, 2021. As previous workshops, this workshop will be online only, however, we are planning for discussion sessions on Monday and Thursday, while Tuesday and Wednesday will provide some time for a hackathon. The aim of this activity is to enable engineers and researchers  to mine the IETF’s data sources in order to explore trends and derive insights into the inner workings of the process of standardization, participation, and governance. 

The full agenda can be found on the IAB workshop webpage and all position papers will be published there in the next days:

RFC Editor Future Development Program 
——————
The RFC Editor Future Development Program, while hosted under the IAB umbrella, operates like an IETF working group in order to develop changes to how the RFC Editor function is managed, staffed, and overseen. Program has started the program last call for draft-iab-rfced-future-rfced-model to run until Nov 5, which will be followed by a wider community consultation.

Please review the draft and provide feedback on the mailing list: [email-masked]

The RFC Editor Future Development Program will also hold a meeting at IETF-112 on Wednesday, Nov 10, 15:30 UCT+1.
