However, I'd kind of expect the other half of this to be in RFC 2026. I certainly recall us sending things like BCP 101 before the ISOC BOT. I also think we sent a couple of other documents there because they were process documents. However this is clearly more complex than I thought it was. Scott, or anyone else with more history, can you tell us a story about how this works?
