Crocker +Request for Comments #53 UCLA + 9 June 70 + + + An Official Protocol Mechanism + + +During the Spring Joint Computer Conference in Atlantic City, Larry +Roberts, Barry Wessler, Cordell Green, Jon Postel and I discussed rules +for establishing and modifying an official Host-Host protocol. + +The following decisions were made: + + 1. A new set of documents will be created. This set of + documents will specify the official Host-Host protocol. When + it becomes appropriate, these documents will be maintained at + the Network Information Center on SRI's computer. + + 2. I will distribute proposals for the initial version of the + official protocol and all subsequent changes as NWG/RFC's. + These proposals will be formulated from suggestions made by + any interested parties. + + 3. After a proposal for a change in the official protocol + has been issued as an NWG/RFC, networkers are requested to + respond with approval, criticism, etc. A cutoff date will be + included with each protocol. + + 4. After the cutoff date, one of two situations will prevail. + Either the proposal will have been substantially accepted by + the network community, or substantial criticism will have been + generated. In the latter case, the process stops and no + change occurs to the official protocol. + + 5. If the proposal has been substantially accepted, the + proposal, together with its minor revisions will be forwarded + to the ARPA office. Barry Wessler or his successor will then + either approve or disapprove the whole proposal. His decision + will be returned to me by letter. + + 6. After the ARPA office approves the proposal, I will send + out the new protocol (as mentioned in item 1 above). + +The first version of an official protocol will be proferred this month. + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] +[ into the online RFC archives by Kathy de Graaf 2/98 ] + + + + [Page 1] + -- cgit v1.2.3
