MINUTES
---------------------------------

0. Review of minutes

  The minutes of the 16 November 2017 and 15 January 2018 RSOC meetings 
  were approved.

1. Format Work Update

  Heather Flanagan reported that the RPC has made progress testing the 
  changes they need to make in their environment to support the new RFC 
  formats. They have tested the expected changes on the info pages, the 
  search result pages, and in the various scripts that create the 
  indexes and public announcements. 

  Since there will be a significant increase in the number of files per 
  RFC (from 2 to 4, with more possibly being added later), the RPC has 
  worked out a different directory structure and tested the scripts that 
  will support moving files around. Their database has also been updated 
  to allow UTF-8 encoded strings. 

  The RPC is still testing the updates needed to the errata system.

  The text converter to v2 tool has been reviewed; the focus now is on 
  the text converter to v3 tool.

  The svgchecker, RFClint, and xmldiff tools for Phase 1 have been 
  checked in, and things are on track for Phase 2.

2. Fifty Years of RFCs - April 2019

  Heather Flanagan noted that April 2019 will mark 50 years of RFCs. She 
  is planning to put together an RFC that describes the current state of 
  the RFC Series, updating RFC 2555, "30 Years of RFCs" and RFC 5540, 
  "40 Years of RFCs." Heather plans to ask RSAG and RSOC for input on 
  this document.

3. IETF 101 planning

  Heather Flanagan reported that the RFC Editor will hold their regular 
  office hours during IETF 101. The RSAG/ISEB will meet on Tuesday, and 
  RSOC will meet on Thursday. Heather is also planning side meetings to 
  discuss revision control and potential changes to the AUTH48 process.

4. Executive Session: RPC 2017 Evaluation

  The 2017 RFC Evaluation was discussed in an executive session.

5. AOB

  Robert Sparks reported that an erratum was filed that requests that 
  the DOI be removed from reference to BCP 14 since BCPs don't have 
  DOIs. Robert asked the RSOC to think about how this should be handled 
  for BCPs that are comprised of more than a singe RFC.
