+Problem Statement:  When documenting authored publications, researchers often rely on Digital Object Identifiers ([[http://www.doi.org/]]) to find, cite, and report on their publication activity.  In some cases, publications do not count as professional publications if a DOI is not assigned.  In order to encourage the reputation and value of the Series to academic researchers, adding DOIs to all published RFCs is being considered as a possibility.  Using DOIs to uniquely identify publications is considered a standard best practice among the scientific, technical, and medical publishing community.
 RSE Actions:
   * Determine cost and potential value
-    * Note that as of 17-January-2013, 688 RFCs have been authored by one or more individuals with institute, college, or university as their affiliation (assumed from the author addresses section); this is 10% of the whole of the Series at this time
+  * Present business case and high level project plan to RSOC
+  * Work with John Levine on DOI draft (see [[http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-levine-doi/]])
 RSOC Actions:
-  * none at this time
+  * review plan, approve membership with CrossRef.org
 RFC Production Center & Publisher Actions:
-  * Assuming that DOIs would only be added to the info pages for each RFC,
+  * Determine what programming will be required
-    * How much programming would be involved to
+  * Help create project plan
-      * add this field to the info pages?
+  * Code changes to include information in database, create necessary APIs to register DOI numbers with CrosRef
-      * add a search field for DOI to the search page?
+  * Adjust Procedures Manual accordingly
-      * link to an API (if available) to request the assignment?

     * "An annual subscription for a non-profit organization is $2,500 per year. This entitles the organization to up to 1 million identifiers per year, both DOIs and ARKs. You would have a unique prefix assigned to your organization"
   * From CrossRef - http://www.crossref.org
-    * Annual membership fee: $275, $1 per RFC for all RFC published between 2011 to present and $.15 per document for earlier works (determined from website; confirmation from vendor in progress)
+   CrossRef Fees, initial
+   Annual Fee = $275
+   Deposit Fee (2012-2014) = (610 * 1.00) = $610
+   Deposit Fee (pre-2012) = (6491 * .15) = $973.65
+   Total est. for of January 1, 2014 = $1913.65
+   Ongoing = $330 (annual fee) + $350 (total yearly deposit fee)
+While a subscription service is possible for $2500/year, given the number of RFC's published (approx 350/year) a per document service like CrossRef.org makes more sense for the Series.
