Abstract​

RFC 3 records the documentation conventions adopted by the Network Working Group (NWG). 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 notes planned at the time of writing.
