Parent issue: Relevance of the IETF and the Series in Layer 9

Size (time): 3 months from start

Importance/Urgency: High/Low

Description: There is an activity going on in Europe to build a catalog of information pointing to various legal, political, technical, and other “semantic assets” relevant to the EU organized by ISA (http://ec.europa.eu/isa/). Getting information about RFCs in to this repository is of value for several reasons, both political and technical. By providing information regarding RFCs in a place where people interested in EU ICT interoperability will look, we encourage acceptance of open standards and global interoperability, and broaden the potential readership of RFCs.

The platform they are using is called “Joinup” and you can get more information on the catalog here: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/catalogue/all?current_checkbox=1
