Writing an RFC: The Definitive Guide by the RFC Editor

Presented by: The RFC Editor

Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 15:00-16:45
======================================
This tutorial will provide an introduction for newcomers to the RFC series as
well as a refresher for experienced RFC authors. It will review the most
important editorial policies and formatting rules for RFCs. It will also
provide a set of helpful hints to authors about content and format; following
these hints will often improve the timeliness of RFC publication and the
quality of the resulting documents. It will include a brief overview of the
procedures for review and approval of RFCs (for both IETF submissions and RFC
Editor submissions), describe the various states of the publication process,
and provide an opportunity to ask questions of RFC Editor staff.

IANA staff will also be present at this tutorial to inform authors about IANA
Considerations sections in RFCs.
