The origins of RFC
Most of us were graduate students and we expected that
a professional crew would show up eventually to take over the problems
we were dealing with... We had accumulated a few notes on the design of
DEL and other matters, and we decided to put them together in a set of
notes... The basic ground rules were that anyone could say anything and
that nothing was official. And to emphasize the point, I labeled the notes
'Request for Comments.' I never dreamed these notes would distributed
through the very medium we were discussing in these notes.
