- of those go on to become regular attendees.
-
- The purpose of this For Your Information (FYI) RFC is to explain to
- the newcomers how the IETF works. This memo also provides the mundane
- bits of information which everyone who attends an IETF meeting should
- know. This FYI RFC is a product of the IETF Secretariat and the User
- Services Area.

- not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
- unlimited.

- should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US. Requests to be added
- to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to
- RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
