- N-1-2-40.25.2 The Request For Comments Notes by Jon Postel,
- <postel@isi.edu>
-
-
- The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and individuals submit
- memos for publication as Request for Comments (RFC) notes for a
- variety of purposes. The RFC Editor attempts to process these in a
- reasonably timely fashion. Submissions that fit the mold of recent
- RFCs can be processed much more quickly. There are instructions to
- RFC Authors in RFC 1111. Submissions should be emailed to
- <rfc-editor@isi.edu>.
-
- Many (but certainly not all) RFCs are part of the Internet standards
- process. An explanation of this process in now available in RFC 1310,
- and the current standards are outlined in RFC 1280. The latest
- standards are announced in section 900.12 of this newsletter.
-
- The distribution of RFCs is online. An announcement is sent to the
- IETF mailing list and to the RFC-Dist mailing list. Those interested
- in obtaining a copy of an RFC are expected to get it from one of the
- many RFC repositories around the world.
-
- Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
- an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with the message body "help:
- ways_to_get_rfcs". For example:
-
- To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
- Subject: getting rfcs
-
- help: ways_to_get_rfcs
