Hello, I am the lead developer for Shining Light Productions and over the past two years I have worked with the various RFCs covering a variety of protocols. As a developer, I have made several connections that include the fact that every single protocol is very similar in nature (if not exactly the same). As a result of working with those RFCs, I have prepared a document that describes a fairly simple overview of a Unified RFC Protocol that combines and brings all of the various, "disconnected" RFCs into one framework from which the IETF and developers can easily work from. It preserves current and historical (ancient) protocols and describes a framework for a general communication protocol. My question is this: Where should I go and how do I start the process of getting an official RFC created? The document I have is a start, but will hardly get the coverage needed for acceptance by the industry. Thomas J.
