Membership is not closed. + +The Network Working Group (NWG) is concerned with the HOST software, the +strategies for using the network, and initial experiments with the network. + +Documentation of the NWG's effort is through notes such as this. Notes +may be produced at any site by anybody and included in this series. + + +CONTENT + +The content of a NWG note may be any thought, suggestion, etc. related to +the HOST software or other aspect of the network. Notes are encouraged to +be timely rather than polished. Philosophical positions without examples +or other specifics, specific suggestions or implementation techniques +without introductory or background explication, and explicit questions +without any attempted answers are all acceptable. The minimum length for +a NWG note is one sentence. + +These standards (or lack of them) are stated explicitly for two reasons. +First, there is a tendency to view a written statement as ipso facto +authoritative, and we hope to promote the exchange and discussion of +considerably less than authoritative ideas. Second, there is a natural +hesitancy to publish something unpolished, and we hope to ease this +inhibition. + +FORM + +Every NWG note should bear the following information: + + 1.
