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


1. Administrivia

  The minutes of the 2022-01-10 RSOC meeting were approved.


2. v3 Issues and Tools

  Peter Saint-Andre reported that John Levine is continuing work on 
  draft-iab-rfc7991bis. He said that he expects an updated version to be 
  posted to the I-D repository fairly soon.


3. Recommendations Following From the I-D Authors Survey

  Jay Daley reported that the authors.ietf.org site has been completed 
  and will go live soon.

  There was a suggestion to separate the markdown details out from the 
  XML details, but for the most part, the details for using markdown and 
  XML should be in the documentation for the tools, not on 
  authors.ietf.org.


4. RFC-Futures Update 

  The IAB Call for Comments on draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model ends on 
  2022-03-07. So far, some nits have been reported, but nothing major.

  Cindy Morgan noted that the last IAB meeting before IETF 113 will be 
  on 2022-03-09, and asked whether it would be possible to get a new 
  revision that incorporates the feedback before that meeting. Peter 
  Saint-Andre said that he thinks it should be possible; he will send an 
  email to the RFC Editor Future Development Program chairs and the IAB 
  Chair to coordinate.


5. RSOC Transition Planning

  Peter Saint-Andre reported that he and Jay Daley had talked to both 
  the RPC and the RFC XML and Style Guide change management team about 
  things that will need to transition when RSOC winds down. RSOC was 
  also invited to the IAB meeting on 2022-03-02 to discuss this topic.

  The biggest concern is how to work through the day-to-day issues that 
  come up as documents go through the editing process. The RFC XML and 
  Style Guide change management team has been working on issues that 
  come up with authors about the XML grammar and vocabulary and 
  providing guidance back to the RPC as necessary. The RPC will need 
  some sort of similar structure going forward. Much of that will likely 
  fall to the RFC Series Advisory Board (RSAB).

  Tony Hansen asked if there is any RSOC work that needs to be finished 
  before RSOC disbands. Peter Saint-Andre reported that it would be good 
  to have draft-iab-rfc7991bis done.

  Sandy Ginoza asked when the RSOC will be dissolved. Peter Saint-Andre 
  said that he wasn't sure, but that it would likely be when the RSAB is 
  seated and the RFC Series Working Group chairs have been selected. 
  Cullen Jennings suggested that the first RSAB meeting could be joint 
  with RSOC to finalize the handover.

  RSOC will discuss this with the IAB at the IAB meeting on 2022-03-02.


6. AOB

  There was no additional business


7. Next RSOC Meeting

  The next RSOC meeting is scheduled for 2022-03-14 at 4:00 PM PDT.
