Hi,
I am writing to give you a quick summary of which RFCs we are currently
working on in the ArchCom. Each RFC has the name of its 'shepherd' listed
next to it. A shepherd is responsible for working with the RFC author to
move the RFC forward, publicize it, and represent it in the architecture
committee.
Please have a look, and join the conversation on the RFCs that are of
interest to you.
