A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Independent Submissions to the RFC Editor
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-rfc-independent-01.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2006-5-15
There is a long-term tradition in the Internet community, predating
the IETF by many years, of use of the RFC series to publish materials
that are not rooted in the IETF standards process and its review and
approval mechanisms. These documents, known a "independent
submissions", serve a number of important functions for the Internet
community, both inside and outside of the community of active IETF
participants. This document discusses the independent submission
model, some reasons why it is important, and describes editorial and
processing norms that can be used for independent submissions as we
go forward into new relationships between the IETF community and its
primary technical publisher.

Send a message to:
mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-rfc-independent-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
