RFC SERIES OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (RSOC) February 12, 2014 Teleconference Reported by: Cindy Morgan, IETF Secretariat ATTENDEES --------------------------------- Bernard Aboba Nevil Brownlee Heather Flanagan, RFC Series Editor Joel Halpern Tony Hansen Joe Hildebrand Bob Hinden Cindy Morgan, Scribe REGRETS --------------------------------- Alexey Melnikov, RSOC Chair Ray Pelletier, IAOC Liaison MINUTES --------------------------------- 0. Agenda Bash 1. Minutes discussion / approval The minutes of the 8 January 2014 teleconference were approved. 2. Updates and discussion topics 2.1. RFC Format Heather Flanagan reported that the RFC format work is progressing, and that she is taking over the pen for the HTML requirements document. The SVG, PDF-to-HTML, and vocabulary documents will be ready for community review soon. Once that is done, Heather will put together the Statement of Work; the current timeframe for completing that will be after IETF 89. Heather Flanagan reported that she has a -00 draft on use of non-ascii characters, and is planning to submit that before the IETF 89 I-D submission deadline. 2.2. Style Guide & DOI Update Heather Flanagan reported that the RFC Style Guide has been posted as draft-iab-styleguide-00, and that she has received 4 substantive comments to date. She is incorporating those comments and plans to post an -01 draft before the IETF 89 I-D submission deadline. John Levine posted draft-iab-doi-01. Discussion on the usefulness of assigning Digital Object Identifiers to RFCs is ongoing on the RFC- interest mailing list. Heather Flanagan noted that ideally the community Call for Comments will begin during IETF 89 so that she can announce it during the Technical Plenary. 2.3. 2013 Annual Review for the RPC/Publisher Heather Flanagan reported that she sent the 2013 Annual Review for the RPC/Publisher to the RSOC on 3 February 2014. She asked the RSOC to review and provide comments or acceptance of the document by 19 February 2014. 2.4. 2014 priorities and request for programmer time Heather Flanagan forwarded a request to fund additional programmer time for the RPC in 2014. The RSOC discussed the updates to the RFC Editor website as part of this request, and asked to see a demonstration of the prototypes the RPC has put together so far. Heather Flanagan will follow up with the RPC and set this up for the Thursday RSOC lunch meeting at IETF 89. Heather will work with the RPC to revise the request and bring it back to the RSOC. Heather Flanagan noted that with all of the other projects in the works, the top priority for the RFC Production Center will remain the editing and publication of RFCs. 3. Operational sanity check 3.1. Submission surge update Heather Flanagan reported that there was a surge in document submissions to the RPC in January, and she expects that surge to continue into February as the IESG approves documents before the March IETF meeting where the leadership transition will occur. She noted that there is a cluster of STORM documents that requested expedited processing, and some of those documents are 300+ pages. The RPC has requested additional editor time to deal with the surge; Heather submitted a request to the IAOC but has not heard back yet. Heather will follow up with Ray Pelletier on the status of this. 3.2. SLA The RSOC discussed the SLA Report. Joe Hildebrand wondered if something should be added to the SLA to account for periods of time when the RPC deals with a large surge of submissions. Bob Hinden noted that the SLA itself is for the 12-month average, and suggested adding annotations to the report to note the reasons why the SLA target was not met during certain months. The RSOC agreed that this would be beneficial, and agreed to look at this again the next time the SLA is renegotiated in the contract. 4. IETF 89 4.1. Document Editing Session (Saturday) Heather Flanagan reported that the Document Editing Session experiment that began in Berlin will continue in London. The Document Editing Session offers authors an opportunity to get reviews of their documents that focus on their use of English grammar, with trained editors on hand for assistance. One comment on the experiment so far is that it is uncertain how this activity will scale in the long-term; there will always be new authors who may need help. Heather noted that she sent an informal message the the working group chairs mailing list asking for input on this, and plans to follow up with those who responded while in London. 4.2. Other RSE Activities at IETF 89 Heather Flanagan reported that she has the following additional activities on her agenda for IETF 89: - 5 minutes at Technical Plenary (Monday) - RSAG/ISEB lunch (Tuesday) - RFC Editor/Stream Manager lunch (Wednesday) - RFC Format BoF (Wednesday) - RSOC lunch (Thursday) - RSE Office Hours (Monday, Wednesday)
