[rfc-i] RFC Editor Model: RSE Responsibilities

[Bob Braden]

Olaf,

Nice model, daunting list of functions.  Certainly at least a fulltime 
person.  At present,
these functions are variously divided among three people, who meet weekly for
coordination, visit each other's offices, and exchange a lot of email.
