Abstract​

RFC 27 restates the documentation conventions of the Network Working Group (NWG); it is a revision of NWG/RFC 10, NWG/RFC 16, and NWG/RFC 24. It describes what a NWG note may contain and why the group deliberately kept the bar low, the information every note must bear (the "Network Working Group" heading, a "Request for Comments" serial number, author and affiliation, date, and title), the distribution list used for the notes, and the current addresses of the group's members.
