All;

Are there any more comments on the SOWs?

This item will be on the IAOC agenda for its call on 22 August.

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
