Network Working Group                                         S. CrockerRequest for Comments #53                                      UCLA                                                              9 June 70                     An Official Protocol MechanismDuring the Spring Joint Computer Conference in Atlantic City, LarryRoberts, Barry Wessler, Cordell Green, Jon Postel and I discussed rulesfor establishing and modifying an official Host-Host protocol.The following decisions were made:      1.  A new set of documents will be created.  This set of          documents will specify the official Host-Host protocol.  When          it becomes appropriate, these documents will be maintained at          the Network Information Center on SRI's computer.      2.  I will distribute proposals for the initial version of the          official protocol and all subsequent changes as NWG/RFC's.          These proposals will be formulated from suggestions made by          any interested parties.      3.  After a proposal for a change in the official protocol          has been issued as an NWG/RFC, networkers are requested to          respond with approval, criticism, etc.  A cutoff date will be          included with each protocol.      4.  After the cutoff date, one of two situations will prevail.          Either the proposal will have been substantially accepted by          the network community, or substantial criticism will have been          generated.  In the latter case, the process stops and no          change occurs to the official protocol.      5.  If the proposal has been substantially accepted, the          proposal, together with its minor revisions will be forwarded          to the ARPA office.  Barry Wessler or his successor will then          either approve or disapprove the whole proposal.  His decision          will be returned to me by letter.      6.  After the ARPA office approves the proposal, I will send          out the new protocol (as mentioned in item 1 above).The first version of an official protocol will be proferred this month.
