+Network Working Group 4689
+RFC-3 April 1969
+ Steve Crocker
+ UCLA
+
+
+ DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS
+
+
+
+The Network Working Group seems to consist of Steve Carr of Utah, Jeff
+Rulifson and Bill Duvall at SRI, and Steve Crocker and Gerard Deloche
+at UCLA. 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. "Network Working Group"
+ "Request for Comments:" x
+ where x is a serial number.
+ Serial numbers are assigned by Bill Duvall at SRI
+
+ 2. Author and affiliation
+
+ 3. Date
+
+ 4. Title. The title need not be unique.
+
+DISTRIBUTION
+
+One copy only will be sent from the author's site to"
+
+ 1. Bob Kahn, BB&N
+ 2. Larry Roberts, ARPA
+ 3. Steve Carr, UCLA
+ 4. Jeff Rulifson, UTAH
+ 5. Ron Stoughton, UCSB
+ 6. Steve Crocker, UCLA
+
+Reproduction if desired may be handled locally.
+
+OTHER NOTES
+
+Two notes (1 & 2) have been written so far. These are both titled HOST
+Software and are by Steve Crocker and Bill Duvall, separately.
+
+Other notes planned are on
+
+ 1. Network Timetable
+ 2. The Philosophy of NIL
+ 3. Specifications for NIL
+ 4. Deeper Documentation of HOST Software.
