On 3 August 2016, the IAB approved the drafts [1] documenting the
requirements for the new RFC format for publication. The RFC Format
project goals include:
An FAQ about the new RFC Format is available online: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rse/format-faq/ With the approval of the drafts, an RFP will be posted shortly
covering the tools required to make this new format a reality. The
RFP will be posted on the IETF announce list, rfc-interest, and
will be found on the IAOC's RFP website (https://iaoc.ietf.org/rfps.html).
As the tools are developed, tested, and used, all the existing
documents will go through a -bis process to capture what we learn
through implementation. Please join rfc-interest@rfc-editor.org
to participate in the discussion on the new format. Many thanks to the RFC Format Design Team for their extraordinary efforts! Nevil Brownlee (ISE), Heather Flanagan (RSE), Tony Hansen, Joe
