RFC

Request for Comments were begun by Steve Crocker on April 7, 1969. RFC Number 1 described the very basics of how two computers would greet each other over a network. The documents are used to recommend, review and adopt new technical standards related to the Net. Notable ones include RFC 354 (finalizing FTP), and RFC 680 (a first attempt to standardize email, which touched off an early version of the OS wars ).
