IETF Discussion List Charter
RFC 3005, “IETF Discussion List Charter”, is a Best Current Practice document published in November 2000 by S. Harris. It has since been updated by RFC 8717. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9245 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) discussion mailing list furthers the development and specification of Internet technology through discussion of technical issues, and hosts discussions of IETF direction, policy, meetings, and procedures. As this is the most general IETF mailing list, considerable latitude is allowed. Advertising, whether to solicit business or promote employment opportunities, falls well outside the range of acceptable topics, as do discussions of a personal nature. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
