Hosnieh,
I initiated the RFC series in 1969 and ran it for a couple of years. I can
answer questions about that period if you wish, though I think the story is
pretty well documented. The RFCs evolved substantially over time and others
can speak to the evolution and current practice.

Hi,
Anybody knows the history behind RFC numbers. How it started and which
document explained this. Sometimes I see it is not a sequential numbers for
new RFCs.
Thanks
