This document is a revision of RFC1310, which defined the official procedures for creating and documenting Internet Standards.
This revision (revision 2) includes the following major changes:
(a) The new management structure arising from the POISED Working
Group is reflected. These changes were agreed to by the IETF
plenary and by the IAB and IESG in November 1992 and accepted by
the ISOC Board of Trustees at their December 1992 meeting.
(b) Prototype status is added to the non-standards track maturity
levels (Section 2.4.1).
(c) The Intellectual Property Rights section is completely revised,
in accordance with legal advice. Section 5 of this document
replaces Sections 5 and 6 of RFC1310. The new section 5 has
been reviewed by legal counsel to the Internet Society.
(d) An appeals procedure is added (Section 3.6).
(e) The wording of sections 1 and 1.2 has been changed to clarify
the relationships that exist between the Internet Society and
the IAB, the IESG, the IETF, and the Internet Standards process.
(f) An Appendix B has been added, listing the contact points for the
RFC editor, the IANA, the IESG, the IAB and the ISOC. The
"future issues" are now listed in Appendix C.
