      <t>A Trust ("the IETF Trust") has been formed for the purpose of
   acquiring, holding, maintaining, and licensing certain existing and
   future intellectual property and other property used in connection
   with the administration of the IETF. The Trust was formed by the
   signatures of its Settlors and initial Trustees.  The Settlors, who
   contributed initial intellectual property to the Trust, were ISOC and
   the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. The Beneficiary
   of the IETF Trust is the IETF as a whole.</t>
      <t>Further details of the IETF Trust may be found at the IETF Trust's
   website, &lt;<eref target="https://trustee.ietf.org/"/>&gt;.</t>
    </section>
    <section anchor="selection" title="Selection numbered="true" toc="default">
      <name>Selection of Trustees"> Trustees</name>
      <t>This document revises the original Trustee selection procedures
      defined in <xref target="RFC4071"/> target="RFC4071" format="default"/> and <xref target="RFC4371"/>, target="RFC4371" format="default"/>
      to eliminate the requirement that trustees Trustees be drawn from the
      members of the IAOC.</t>
      <t>In this newly revised IETF Trust structure, there will be
      five Trustees.  Three shall be appointed by the IETF Nominating
      Committee (NomCom) and confirmed by the Internet Engineering
      Steering Group (IESG), one shall be appointed by the IESG, and
      one shall be appointed by the Internet Society (ISOC) Board of
      Trustees. The appointments by the IESG and the ISOC Board of
      Trustees do not require confirmation.</t>
      <t>The IETF Trust Chair informs the nominating committee
      of the Trustee positions to be reviewed. The IETF Trust will
      provide a summary of the expertise desired of the Trustee
      candidates to each appointing body.</t>
      <t>A change to the Trust Agreement is required to put this
      change into effect, and this document requests that the current
      Trustees make this change at the earliest convenient time and no
      later than the end of the 104th IETF meeting in March 2019.</t>
      <t>The terms of the appointed trustees Trustees from the IETF NomCom shall be
      three years.  The initial selection shall be one, two, and three
      year terms in order to initially stagger the terms. The other
      appointments by the IESG and the ISOC Board of Trustees shall be
      two year terms, with the initial terms being one and two years,
      respectively.
      The goal of the staggered initial terms is to minimize potential
      Trustee turnover in any single year. To maintain the
      staggered terms, each appointing body may may, at its discretion discretion,
      appoint Trustees for shorter terms as needed in exceptional
      situations, e.g., for mid-term vacancies or when an appointment
      is not ready by the time of the first IETF meeting of the year.</t>
      <t>Once the initial trustee Trustee selections according to the
      procedures in this document are complete, and at each subsequent
      annual meeting of the IETF Trust once (once new trustees Trustees are seated, seated),
      the trustees Trustees shall elect one Trustee to serve as IETF Trust Chair by a
      majority vote of the IETF Trust
      one trustee to serve as Trust.</t>
      <t>Trustees appointed by the IETF Trust Chair.</t>

      <t>The processes regarding NomCom appointments and recalls of
      Trustees for may be recalled according to
      the IETF Trust follow those recall process described in <xref
      target="RFC7437"/>. For target="BCP10" format="default"/>.
       Trustees appointed by the IESG or by the ISOC Board of Directors may be
       recalled by the appointing body. For appointments made by the IESG, the
       IESG is expected to run an open selection process and to consider the
       necessary skill set and conflicts of interest as part of that process.</t>

      <t>RFC Editor: Please remove this section upon publication.</t>

      <t>The version draft-itef-iasa2-trust-update-02.txt made some
      editorial corrections, as well as clarifying that no
      confirmation is needed in the cases other than review. Finally, the nomcom
      appointment, specified how IETF Trust chair is chosen, and
      required that an open process be used by the IESG for the
      selections.</t>

      <t>The version draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update-01.txt has taken
      into account last call comments. The changes are: 1)
      Clarification of the role of the IETF Trust Chair to
      indicate which trustee positions are up for selection, similar authors would like to how RFC
      7437 requires thank the IETF Executive Director to do it. 2)
      The addition of empty security and IANA consideration
      sections. 3) The clarification
      authors of <xref target="RFC4371" format="default"/>, as the staggering rules for
      NomCom selections. 4) Updated text regarding the application of
      rules from that RFC 7437. 5) Update draft title to be correct remains in
      terms of specifying a process rather than the actual persons.
      6) Update the text regarding desirable expertise to use the
      same language as in RFC 7437 instead of the "list of desired
      qualifications".</t>

      <t>The version draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update-00.txt corrected
      the desired document status to BCP, and made several editorial
      and language updates. This version also updated the wording for
      the request for the current trustees to adopt this change, from
      "earliest convenience" to "earliest convenient time".</t>

      <t>The version draft-arkko-iasa2-trust-update-00.txt was the
