 In May 2012, a group focusing on federated internet identity policies called REFEDs contacted the RFC Series Editor regarding potentially becoming a new stream.  Determining if their documents would add to the quality and value of the Series, whether those documents should be published through an existing stream, and what the financial implications will provide an excellent "pilot" to explore what it would take to add a new document stream to the Series.   In May 2012, a group focusing on federated internet identity policies called REFEDs contacted the RFC Series Editor regarding potentially becoming a new stream.  Determining if their documents would add to the quality and value of the Series, whether those documents should be published through an existing stream, and what the financial implications will provide an excellent "pilot" to explore what it would take to add a new document stream to the Series.

 +==== Closing Action ====
 +The RSE and the RSOC agreed at the RSOC retreat that the proposal made by Nevil Brownlee, ISE, to use the Independent Stream (see proposal below) will be used for the immediate use case of REFEDs.  This solution will be preferred over reopening the question of creating new streams if and when other groups request a new stream for their documents.

 +  * Must determine selection and process criteria in order to make sure the quality of the RFC Series as a whole is maintained 
 +  * Consider the concern regarding how to mitigate confusion (already strong within the community) around an additional stream. (If existing streams are not understood, it is possible that a new stream would only confuse matters further.) 
 +  * Consider what would be required to close a stream, both in the cases of a voluntary closure versus one done perhaps because quality of documents is not up to Series expectations.
