<abstract>
<t>
   A discussion of the standardization process and the RFC document
   series is presented first, followed by an explanation of the terms.
   Sections 6.2 - 6.10 contain the lists of protocols in each stage of
   standardization.  Finally, there are pointers to references and
   contacts for further information.
</t>
<t>
   This memo is intended to be issued every one hundred RFCs; please be
   sure the copy you are reading is current.  Current copies may be
   obtained from the Requests for Comments Editor (RFC-EDITOR) or from
   the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) (see the contact
   information at the end of this memo).
</t>
<t>
   See Section 6.1 for a description of recent changes.  In the official
   lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol
   denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one
   protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of
   this document.
