1. On the RFC Errata page, enter the RFC number under "Report New Errata", and click the button.

2. Read through the errata that have already been reported for that RFC (if any) to verify that that error has not already been reported. If you have uncovered a new erratum, click the button at the end of the page to proceed.

3. Complete the report form as follows (* indicates required fields):

   Date:

   this field is filled automatically with the current date

   *Name:

   your name

   *Email:

   your email address

   *Type:

   select the type of error, where

   • Editorial - spelling, grammar, punctuation, or syntax error that does not affect the technical meaning
   • Technical - error in the technical content (Note that changes in the usage of RFC 2119 keywords are considered technical.)

   Tip: If the type is not clear, select Technical, and add your concern to the Notes.

   *Section:

   the section where the error appears

   Tip: If the error appears throughout the text, enter GLOBAL for Section.

   Tip: If the error appears outside of a numbered section (e.g., in the Abstract), you can enter the location. Note that this will appear as "In Section Abstract" until later corrected by the verifier.

   *Original Text:

   the text as it appears in the RFC

   *Corrected Text:

   the text as you think it should appear

   Notes:

   any notes or rationale that are relevant to this report.

4. Click Preview, then go back and edit or submit.

5. Upon submit, this errata will be posted as "Reported" and an email (Subject: [Errata Reported]) will be sent to you, the authors of the RFC, and the verifying party. The verifying party is determined by the stream that produced the RFC: IETF, IAB, IRTF, or Independent Submission.

6. Participate in discussion of the errata over email (if any). If you find an error in your report, please send mail noting the error. You will receive email when your report is Verified or Rejected by the relevant party.

Go to the RFC Errata page.
