Five immediate large items: 0) The requirements for this position are pretty much indistinguishable from that of the RSE as stated in previous versions of the SOW. I don't think that makes sense. If this is simply a "we want to hire some short time to do the RSE position", then state that rather than using the figleaf of strategic and tactical. I'm not saying you'll get community buy-in for that, but at least it would be less obfuscated. 1) Is this a full time position? If not, then describe the expected workload. From the description, its a level of effort contract somewhat less than full time. State that level. 2) The style manual (last bullet) is a strategic item, not a tactical item. Delete it. 3) Matrix management - seriously? That's how we got to this situation in the first place. 4) Term - for a tactical contract, this is pretty long - 1.5 years with the possibility of a year extension. Small items: 1) Drop the "Experience as an RFC editor" bullet in favor of "Familiarity with the RFC series is desired but not required". 2) The "culture and process" bullet is also strategic and not tactical. Drop this to just the RFC process. 3) Travel internationally - state if this is in addition to the IETF meetings. Overall comment: This has the feel to me of a push towards a more "managed" RFC Editor vs the independent model we've had over the lifetime of the series - and doing it by small nibbles and by delay. The RFC++ bof indicated community displeasure with that direction, and I'm not sure this SOW is representative of community desires. I'd be happier with this if the sole and only contract reporting link is from this contractor to the LLC. The LLC MAY appoint the RSOC for day to day things, but any contractual discussions OF ANY KIND should be with the actual organization that holds the contract. From a community point of view, we have oversight and a direct line of responsibility from the LLC to the community (with the concomitant ability of the community to recall or otherwise fail to reappoint LLC board members) . That is not the case with the RSOC. With respect to the evolution of the RFC Series - I haven't seen any clear statement from anyone of the changes they believe need to be made. So, prior to putting us in the penalty box for a year and a half, perhaps we could actually get a statement of interests which would indicate that we need such a delay in the RFC SE selection process. E.g. a full formal ID/RFC not random musings in email with enough initial support that we have the possibility of getting to some sort of consensus for change if we invest the time.
