NOTES
---------------------------------
0. Review of minutes

  The minutes of the 14 August 2017 RSOC Meeting were approved.

1. Project updates

1.1. Format

  Heather Flanagan reported that the ElfTools work is proceeding 
  according to plan and the SeanTek work is delayed. The timeline for 
  the format project tools is being tracked at:
  https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/wiki/FormatToolsPlan

  The first RFC with non-ASCII characters is now in AUTH48 as RFC-to-be 
  8187. The PRECIS document cluster (see https://www.rfc-editor.org/
  cluster_info.php?cid=C326) is the next set of documents that will 
  include non-ASCII characters. There are currently no other documents 
  with non-ASCII characters in the queue; Heather Flanagan has asked the 
  IESG to hold off on approving additional documents with non-ASCII 
  characters until the new format tools are tested and in place.

1.2. Style Guide / Joint RSE/IESG statement

  Heather Flanagan reported that she has drafted a proposed joint RSE/
  IESG statement on editorial control and is waiting to hear back from 
  Adam Roach.

  The proposed revised text regarding Abstract guidance has been sent to 
  the rfc-interest list for feedback.

1.3. Digital Preservation 

  The MoU with the Computer History Museum has been signed. The next 
  steps are about technical implementation. Heather Flanagan will let 
  the RSOC know when there is more to discuss on this topic. Heather 
  will send a note out to the rfc-interest list to let people know about  
  this.

2. IRTF

  Allison Mankin was unable to join the meeting. Heather Flanagan will 
  invite Allison to join the next RSOC meeting to discuss IRTF 
  documents.

3. Executive Session

  The RSOC discussed additional business in an executive session.
