Questions for an organization requesting to be considered as a new Stream in to the RFC Series

1 - Why the RFC Series and not Kantara or OASIS or another umbrella organization? What are you hoping to achieve by publishing RFC and not documents on your wiki as you do today?

2 - Do you anticipate your organization being a persistent entity for the next 5-10 years?

3 - The RFC Series has some particular points of style and format that must be consistent across the streams. Today that means ASCII only, fixed line and page lengths, and a fairly common document structure (Abstract, Introduction, Headers, Footers, etc.) Is your organization willing to accept those constraints and participate in the discussions regarding potential changes to those constraints? Do you have any format requirements of your own, such as a UTF-8 character set or inclusion of graphics or HTML-style links?

Questions for the RSE, IAB, and whoever else needs to be involved in determining whether a new Stream should be created (TBD)

1 - What type of documents are allowed? Informational? BCP? Standard? etc.

Other actions to consider

  • A new stream will need to be prepared to define their processes in an RFC. Current stream documents:
    • RFC5745 “Procedures for Rights Handling in the RFC IAB Stream”
    • RFC5744 “Procedures for Rights Handling in the RFC Independent Submission Stream”
    • RFC5743 “Definition of an Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Document Stream”
