2.5. RFC Editor Liaison Report

–Begin RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–

RSE

- IETF 101 - The RSE met with several of the -bis authors, developers,
and the RPC representative for the RFC Format project. Attendees
included: Henrik Levkowetz, Jim Schaad, Julian Reschke, Paul Hoffman,
Nevil Brownlee, Alice Russo, and Heather Flanagan. Each developer
offered an update on the status of his tools, and the team discussed
both testing and updating the -bis documents that describe the
requirements for the v3 format. The team also assigned write ups for
FAQ-style guidance for authors on how to use new v3 features.
- Style Guide - a revised draft of the RFC Style Guide has been posted
for discussion. The changes in this version focus on reference format
updates, in particular adding code repository guidance and changing
Internet Draft terminology from “Work in Progress” to “Internet
Draft”.

RPC

- https://www.rfc-editor.org/report-summary/
- PGTE increased significantly (40%) during March, so the RPC expects
the processing times in Q2 to be impacted while they work through the
queue. As a reminder, Tier 2 metrics require 50% of documents
published within the period having an RFC Editor-controlled time that
ads up to 12 weeks or fewer. For more information, please see the
reports page.
