The Information Processing Techniques Office ([[IPTO]]) funded a research on advance computers and network technologies during the 1960s which led to the development of [[ARPANET]], the first wide area packet switching network or in simple words the first Internet.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref>

It was in 1968, when the ARPANET research was in full progress wherein researches and computer scientists meet regularly discussing the progress of their works, technical standards, internet design and architecture many other aspects of computer and networking. The Group called themselves as the Network Working Group. It was in February of 1969 during a meeting in Utah with the BBN when the Network Working Group realized that they need to start writing their discussions.

The Group called themselves as the [[Network Working Group]]. It was in February of 1969 during a meeting in Utah with the BBN when the Network Working Group realized that they needed to start writing down their discussions.  

The term ''Request For Comments'' was first used by [[Steve Crocker]] when he volunteered to organize the notes written by the Network Working Group to give emphasis to their basic ground rule that ''anyone can say anything and nothing was official.'' Crocker wrote the first RFC entitled ''Host Software'' on April 7, 1969.<ref>[http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1.txt RFC 1:Host Software]</ref> Crocker was part of the UCLA Team along with [[Vinton Cerf]], [[Jon Postel]], [[Bill Naylor]], and [[Mike Wingfield]] responsible in creating the protocols of the ARPANET which became the foundation of the internet today.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm www.livinginternet.com]</ref>

The RFC became a very convenient and useful method in recording the all the details and technical information carried out by the Network Working Group in their research.Since then, the RFC became the official document of the Network Working Group.
