RFC 2555, “30 Years of RFCs”, is an Informational document published in April 1999 by RFC Editor, et al.. It has since been updated by RFC 8700. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The rest of this document contains a brief recollection from the present RFC Editor Joyce K. Reynolds, followed by recollections from three pioneers: Steve Crocker who wrote RFC 1, Vint Cerf whose long-range vision continues to guide us, and Jake Feinler who played a key role in the middle years of the RFC series. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
