If it's not desirable for other communities to > publish RFCs, why does this question matter? reading this again I understand why this would be confusing - let me clarify: - I personally think it would have been desirable to broaden the use of the RFC series even at the expense of less IETF control. As Brian remarked in one of his notes, the RFC series is the original OA publishing channel - a thing of great value in itself. - I don't know (but I don't expect) any outside organizations or groups entertain any notions of a separate RFC stream by now. - I think it might be a good idea to figure out why it is so diffucult for us to attract communities to come and publish on /our/ terms. Melissa has suggested IPR as one cause. There are probably other reasons (discussion climate etc). Cheers Leif
