Administrivia The minutes of the 2021-11-15 RSOC meeting were approved. 2. v3 Issues and Tools John Levine reported that he is working on updates to draft-iab- rfc7991bis; because it involves a lot of copying and pasting from the XML documentation, it is fairly labor-intensive. Peter Saint-Andre volunteered to review the changes. Jay Daley noted that the RFC XML and Style Guide change management team is looking at the XML processing instructions that were in the v2 grammar to see if any of them can be deprecated. Tony Hansen said that the processing instructions in v2 were documented at https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/authoring/README.html. Jay Daley reported that the RFC XML and Style Guide change management team is also looking at the use of predefined entities in XML files; a number of the XML templates include such entities in their DOCTYPE declarations and the team is investigating which entities are in active use. 3. Recommendations Following From the I-D Authors Survey Jay Daley reported that the authors.ietf.org site has been sent around for preliminary review. The site provides authors with documentation about how to choose their format and tools, as well as templates and schemas. After consulting with Lars Eggert, Jay has started incorporating content from the "Guidelines for I-D authors" into authors.ietf.org. Jay Daley said that once the authors.ietf.org site is up and running, it would be good to have community ownership of the content. 4. RFC-Futures Update Peter Saint-Andre reported that draft-iab-rfcefdp-rfced-model-07 was posted to address the comments that were received during the Program Last Call. The document still needs to go through community review and the IAB approval process. Jay Daley reported that he has started to put together the selection committee that will make a recommendation to the IETF LLC about the RSCE role. He also has a recruitment agency ready to go once the process is ready to be started. 5. AOB Peter Saint-Andre suggested adding an item to the next RSOC agenda to discuss transition planning, since RSOC will disband once the RFC Editor Model v3 is in effect. 6. Next RSOC Meeting The next RSOC meeting will be on 2022-01-10 at 4:00 PM PST. Jay Daley and David Schinazi sent their regrets in advance for that meeting.
