Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) A. Falk Request for Comments: 5743 IRTF Category: Informational December 2009 ISSN: 2070-1721 Definition of an Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Document Stream Abstract This memo defines the publication stream for RFCs from the Internet Research Task Force. Most documents undergoing this process will come from IRTF Research Groups, and it is expected that they will be published as Informational or Experimental RFCs by the RFC Editor. Status of this Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). The IRTF publishes the results of Internet-related research and development activities. These results might not be suitable for deployment. Documents approved for publication by the IRSG are not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

This memo defines the steps required to publish a document in the IRTF RFC stream. Document streams are described in Section 5 of [RFC4844]. Most documents undergoing this process will come from IRTF Research Groups and it is expected that they will be published as Informational or Experimental RFCs by the RFC Editor. The IRTF RFC stream provides an avenue for research groups to publish their findings with an IRTF label. Pre-publication editorial review by the Internet Research Steering Group (IRSG) increases the readability of documents and ensures proper caveats (described in Section 2.1) are applied. The IRTF RFC approval process may be summarized as: o The Research Group (RG) performs a thorough technical and editorial review of the document and agrees it should be published. o The Internet Research Steering Group (IRSG) reviews the document and approves it for publication. o The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) reviews the document to assure that there are no conflicts with current or expected standardization activities. o The document is submitted to the RFC Editor for publication.
