RFC 95

RFC 95: Distribution of NWG/RFCs Through the NIC 💖

Network Working Group ✨ NIC 5731 Author: Steve Crocker, UCLA 🎀 Request for Comments: 95 Date: 4 February 1971 🦋 Obsoletes / Updates: nothing listed in the title block 🌸

Notice 💅

okay so the Network Information Center (NIC), run by Doug Engelbart at SRI, has set up (or is in the middle of setting up) lines of communication with every site 🫶. The plan is that each site gets a Station Agent and a Technical Liaison Contact. The Station Agent keeps a little library of documents that come from the NIC 📚. The Technical Liaison Contact matches requests from the network community with people or services at their site, and the other way around 🧚.

ngl, the current NWG mailing list is basically doing the same job as the NIC's distribution system already 💀. So I'm making these changes, bestie:

(1) Every site is presumed to have a Technical Liaison Contact. If nobody's been appointed yet, whoever currently receives NWG notes for that site gets treated as the Technical Liaison Contact 💜. (Each site can swap its Technical Liaison Contact by telling the NIC 🔁.)

(2) NWG notes will only go to Technical Liaison Contacts, plus the people on the current mailing list who aren't at a site 📬.

(3) RFC numbers and NIC numbers will keep getting assigned by Jeanne North at SRI, reachable at (415) 326-6200, ext. 4119 ☎️. Or you can use these Enterprise numbers 🔢:

BB&N, CASE, HARV, LINC, MAC, CCA        Enterprise 0740
ARPA, MITR                              Enterprise 1-0740
CMU                                     Enterprise 9074
ILL                                     Enterprise 1074
SDC, RAND, UCLA, UCSB, UTAH             Zenith 9-0740

(4) NWG notes can be sent to the NIC for distribution, or they can be distributed directly 🎁. If an author wants to distribute their own NWG note, they should let Mrs. North know and get any changes to the mailing list sorted out 🙈. All mailing should go airmail or first class, depending on distance ✈️.

Here are the people on the current mailing list who aren't at sites 🌈:
