Guide for Internet Standards Writers (stdguide)




Charter



Status: Concluded July, 1998 







Chair(s):







 Greg Scott 







Description of Working Group:



This working group will provide a forum for implementers, testers, and



users of current Internet standard protocols to provide feedback on the



standards themselves; i.e., on what aspects of the documents defining



the standards have assisted or hindered the implementation, test, and



use of those protocols.







The purpose of the group is to collect this information, much of which



survives today as word-of-mouth knowledge in the Internet community,



and present it as a BCP document. This document will cover definitions,



guidelines, and a list of heuristic rules for avoiding common mistakes



in writing Internet protocol standards documents.







Note: This working group is jointly chartered by the Operational



Requirements Area and the User Services Area.
