[INDEP] Correction on pg 5 of independent-05.txt


 Meeting notes and reports (RFC 164 [RFC0164] is the earliest, 1109
      [RFC1109] probably the most important).
   o  Editorials (the best example is IEN-137, not an RFC).
   o  Eulogies (RFC 2441 [RFC2441])
   o  Technical contributions (e.g., RFC 1810 [RFC1810]) and,
      historically,


RFC0164 is not the earliest: I think that you may have read RFC 1000 too quickly:

1c.  Meeting Notes and Minutes

         898 - Gateway Special Interest Group Meeting Notes
         .....
         316 - Data Management Working Group Meeting Report
         164, 131, 116, 108, 101, 082, 077, 066, 063, 037, 021 - Network
               Working Group Meeting

Yes, RFC0021 is the earliest and one of the shortest as well: a short 1.5 pages.

However, the earliest minutes that are substantive and interesting are the minutes of the 3day NWG meeting at the Fall Joint Computing Conference (FJCC) Nov. 1970. Intriguingly, two attendees took overlapping notes, and wrote two RFCs: RFC0077 by Jon Postel and RFC0082 by Edwin Meyer. These notes are a delightful "time machine" back to the very, very early days of designing Arpanet's host-related protocols.
