Tonight's Plenary: RFCs Will No Longer Be Published

2010-11-07 19:15:31
     "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."  --  Thomas Jefferson

     It is also the price for maintaining quality and culture. -- D. Crocker



One of the problems with having things work well is that we get complacent.

Once we get through the challenges of gaining approval for a document, today we find that going the the RFC publication is usually efficient and even painless.

This has not always been so and it could become 'not so' in the future.

Tonight's plenary will not include the above-offered announcement, but it /will/ include a proposal on the RFC Editor office, covering the structure and functions, with a focus on the open position for the RFC Series Editor -- roughly equivalent to the position previously held by Bob Braden and created by Jon Postel.

As always, if you ignore the current round of proposal review, you do not get to later complain that the result is wrong. Worse, if you do not participate now, you are probably increasing the likelihood that it will be wrong...
