Line 7: − == Internet Standards Process == − − The Internet Standards Process is followed by the Internet community for the standardization of the protocols and procedures. It also deals with the Intellectual Property Rights issues and the copyright issues associated in the standards process. − The IETF Internet Standards Process seems quite simple which states a specification goes through a series of developments and iterations of review by the internet community and is revised based on experience. Then it is adopted as a standard by the appropriate body and is finally published. But while implementing this process various complexities arise which need to be considered. Such as; − − # The specifications must be of high technical quality. − # Interests of all the affected parties needs to be considered − # It should establish a widespread community consensus. − # It is difficult to evaluate the utility of a specification for the Internet community. − − The goals of the standards process are as follows: − − * Technical excellence − * Thorough testing before implementation − * Short, simple and concise documentation − * Fairness and openness, and − * Timeliness − − The Internet Standards Process is intends to balance these conflicting goals. <ref>[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt ietf.org]Internet Standards Process RFP</ref> −
