There is a long-standing tradition in the Internet community,
predating the Internet Engineering Task Force (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 as "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 and some reasons why it is
important. It then describes editorial and processing norms that can
be used for Independent Submissions as the community goes forward
into new relationships between the IETF community and its primary
technical publisher. This memo provides information for the Internet
community.
This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board.
INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
