The RFC Series Editor (RSE) is proposing changes to the Statements of Work (SOW) for the RFC Production Center (RPC) and the RFC Publisher. The IAOC wants to receive community input prior to negotiating the proposed changes with the contractor. Community input will be discussed with the RSE prior to negotiations and reviewed by the IAOC. In forwarding the proposed Statements of Work the RSE said: "The changes seek to make the SoWs more current [implementing RFC 6635] and specific, correcting the issues of "multiple masters" directing the RPC and Publisher, as well as preparing the way for a more significant revision to the SoWs when the RFC Format changes are operationalized. The SoWs have also been reviewed and supported by the RSOC [RFC Series Oversight Committee]. We consider the changes within the SoWs critical to the clear function of the RPC and Publisher, but suggest that the changes do not imply a significant change in responsibility for the RPC or Publisher." The proposed SOWs, the current SOWs and a diff file for each can be found here under Community Review: <http://iaoc.ietf.org/rfps.html> We appreciate the community's input and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Ray Pelletier IAD
