All of the DOC files are in the process of being replaced with PDF files.

I apologize for the inconvenience and angst this caused.

Is this the document with the proposed SOW?

I know that I should not this, but... I am a bit surprised
(disappointed) in seeing a proprietary format used here.  I am not
saying that you should not use the Office suite to write it, but you
could convert it to PDF (better, PDF/A) before publishing it.

Anyway, I use Linux, so I guess I will not be able to give my input about it.

Best regards,

Riccardo

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
