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.
