+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
+   Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+   improvements.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+   This document describes a new series of documents which describe best
+   current practices for the Internet community.  Documents in this
+   series carry the endorsement of the Internet Engineering Steering
+   Group (IESG).
+
+Discussion
+
+   The current IETF process has two types of RFCs: standards track
+   documents and other RFCs (e.g., informational, experimental, FYIs)
+   [1].  The intent of the standards track documents is clear, and
+   culminates in an official Internet Standard [2,3].  Informational
+   RFCs can be published on a less formal basis, subject to the
+   reasonable constraints of the RFC editor.  Informational RFCs are not
+   subject to peer review and carry no significance whatsoever within
+   the IETF process [4].
+
+   The IETF currently has no other mechanism or means of publishing
+   relevant technical information which it endorses.  This document
+   creates a new subseries of RFCs, entitled Best Current Practices
+   BCPs).
+
+   The BCP process is similar to that for proposed standards.  The BCP
+   is submitted to the IESG for review, and the existing review process
+   applies, including a "last call" on the IETF announcement mailing
+   list.  However, once the IESG has approved the document, the process
+   ends and the document is published.  The resulting document is viewed
+   as having the technical approval of the IETF, but it is not, and
+   cannot become an official Internet Standard.

+   Possible examples of technical information to which BCPs could be
+   applied are "OSI NSAP Allocation" [5], and "OSPF Applicability
+   Statement" [6].
