The RFC Production Center (RPC) has had a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for document production for many years. However, the RPC has not met this SLA for some years and an analysis shows that this is primarily due to a significant increase in the work expected of the RPC. Furthermore, the old SLA excluded some key measures as the measurement in place until recently had significant gaps. Given this, the current SLA is no longer fit for purpose and needs replacing.
A consultation document has been published that provides an explanation of the old SLA, data of performance since its inception in 2016, an analysis of the issue and a proposed way forward. This is then followed by a series of questions for community feedback: https://www.ietf.org/media/documents/Consultation_on_a_Service_Level_Agreement_SLA_for_RFC_Editing_and_Publication.pdf Please send your feedback to the IETF Executive Director at [email protected] by 6 September 2026. If you wish to discuss any of this on a public list then please use the [email protected] list. -- Jay Daley [email protected] www.ietf.org _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
