Subject: Open mailing list for the discussion of Independent RFC
Submissions Process
Reply-To: iab at ietf.org

As part its role in supporting the RFC Editor function, the Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) has created a public mailing list for the
discussion of the RFC Independent Submissions process.

The purpose of this discussion is to achieve consensus, in the coming
weeks, on a process for fair and appropriate approval of independent
submissions to the RFC series.  These are separate from IETF, IAB or
IRTF approved submissions.

Individuals familiar with the RFC series and working in the Internet
research and engineering community are invited to join this mailing list
and participate.

There is an initial draft proposal, available at:

Chair, IAB.
