As it stands there are two issues with this. One is = the high administrative burden of multiple organisations and = repositories. The second is the limited access to features provided by = the free tier, such as the Audit API, which are useful for tools = integrations. To address this we are in the process of taking up a GitHub Enterprise = license. An enterprise account gives the following features: - access to the Audit API that let=E2=80=99s us pull records of = everything for archiving - allows the creation of unlimited organisations and public repositories = under this account. We can assign whoever we want to manage those = without them requiring a license while the Secretariat remains an owner = for when an admin change is needed. - existing organisations can be included under this account if they = choose to move to the account - all the repositories under the account switch from having their own = local licensing terms to central licensing terms, which will be = https://trustee.ietf.org/license-for-open-source-repositories.html to = comply with RFC 8875 (when that link is fixed) This basically provides the features the Secretariat and Tools Team need = to deliver RFC 8875. It is also quite cheap as we can use the minimum = 10 user license pack provided that we don=E2=80=99t do anything with = private repositories, which would change the licensing dramatically. =20 Please let me know if you have any questions.
