This document updates RFC 2026 ([RFC2026], BCP 9) to remove a limit on the number of Area Directors who manage an Area in the definition of "IETF Area". This document also updates RFC 2418 ([RFC2418], BCP 25) to reflect this updated definition.
本文件更新了RFC 2026（[RFC2026]，BCP 9），以取消“IETF区域”定义中对管理区域的区域主管数量的限制。本文件还更新了RFC 2418（[RFC2418]，BCP 25），以反映更新后的定义。
The change described in this document is intended to allow the IESG additional flexibility in organizing the IETF's work. It does not make any changes to the role of an Area and does not argue that assigning more than two Area Directors to an Area is an optimal solution in the long run. In particular, this change is not intended to increase the size of the IESG significantly. If several Areas will require more than two Area Directors, the IESG should consider investigating alternative ways of organizing the IETF's work.
本文件中描述的变更旨在允许IESG在组织IETF工作时具有额外的灵活性。它不会对一个区域的角色进行任何更改，也不会认为从长远来看，为一个区域指派两名以上的区域主管是最佳解决方案。特别是，这一变化并不是为了显著增加IESG的规模。如果几个地区需要两个以上的地区董事，IESG应该考虑调查IETF的工作的其他方式。
In recent discussions, the IESG has explored splitting and combining Areas. One proposal resulted in a single Area that would be managed by three Area Directors.
在最近的讨论中，IESG探讨了拆分和合并领域。有一项提案产生了一个由三名区域主任管理的单一区域。
An Area managed by three Area Directors conflicts with this definition in Section 14, "DEFINITIONS OF TERMS" of RFC 2026 ([RFC2026]):
由三名区域主管管理的区域与RFC 2026（[RFC2026]）第14节“术语定义”中的定义相冲突：
IETF Area - A management division within the IETF. An Area consists of Working Groups related to a general topic such as routing. An Area is managed by one or two Area Directors.
IETF区域——IETF内的一个管理部门。区域由与路由等一般主题相关的工作组组成。一个区域由一个或两个区域主管管理。
A similar statement appears in Section 1, "Introduction" of RFC 2418 ([RFC2418]):
RFC 2418（[RFC2418]）的第1节“介绍”中也有类似的陈述：
Each IETF area is managed by one or two Area Directors (ADs).
每个IETF区域由一个或两个区域主管（ADs）管理。
While it's true that recent IESGs have had two Area Directors in each Area except for the General Area, the number of Area Directors in each Area has varied since the publication of RFC 1396 ([RFC1396]). (For reference, see <http://www.ietf.org/iesg/past-members.html>.)
虽然最近的IESG在每个区域（一般区域除外）都有两名区域主管，但自RFC 1396（[RFC1396]）发布以来，每个区域的区域主管数量有所不同。（有关参考，请参见<http://www.ietf.org/iesg/past-members.html>.)
This variation was due to a number of factors, including workload and personal preferences, and happened as a natural part of the IESG organizing itself to do the work the IESG is chartered to do.
这种变化是由许多因素造成的，包括工作量和个人偏好，并且作为IESG组织自己完成IESG被授权完成的工作的自然组成部分。
At one point, the IESG placed three Area Directors in a single Area (Scott Bradner, Deirdre Kostick, and Michael O'Dell, in the Operational & Management Requirements Area, between IETF 36 and IETF 37 in 1996).
在某一点上，IESG将三名区域主管安排在一个区域内（斯科特·布拉德纳、迪尔德雷·科斯蒂克和迈克尔·奥戴尔，1996年在IETF 36和IETF 37之间的运营和管理需求区域）。
The last time the IESG increased the number of Area Directors in an Area was when they requested that the Nominating Committee provide a second Area Director in the Routing Area in 1999. Although the number of Area Directors in an Area hasn't changed since then, the IESG continues to be responsible for specifying the positions that the Nominating Committee fills each year.
IESG上一次增加一个地区的地区总监数量是在1999年，当时他们要求提名委员会在路由地区提供第二位地区总监。尽管从那时起，某个地区的地区主管人数没有变化，但IESG仍然负责指定提名委员会每年填补的职位。
It is consistent with the IESG's role in creating and dismantling entire Areas to allow the IESG flexibility in assigning enough Area Directors who have been selected by the Nominating Committee to effectively manage the working groups within an Area.
这与IESG在创建和拆除整个区域方面的作用是一致的，以允许IESG灵活地分配提名委员会选出的足够多的区域主任，以有效管理区域内的工作组。
Note the requirement in RFC 7437 ([RFC7437], BCP 10) that the Nominating Committee review (approximately) half the positions for the IESG each year is unchanged. The Nominating Committee may assign an appropriate term duration for each position to ensure the ideal application of this rule in the future, and this is also unchanged.
请注意RFC 7437（[RFC7437]，BCP 10）中的要求，即提名委员会每年审查（大约）半数IESG职位不变。提名委员会可为每个职位指定适当的任期，以确保该规则在未来的理想应用，这一点也不变。
