| (I) A specification, approved by the IESG and published as an RFC,
that is stable and well-understood, is technically competent, has
multiple, independent, and interoperable implementations with
substantial operational experience, enjoys significant public
support, and is recognizably useful in some or all parts of the
Internet. [R2026] (See: RFC.)
(C) The Internet Standards Process is an activity of the ISOC and
is organized and managed by the IAB and the IESG. The process is
concerned with all protocols, procedures, and conventions used in
or by the Internet, whether or not they are part of the Internet
Protocol Suite. The "Internet Standards Track" has three levels of
increasing maturity: Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, and
Standard. (See: (standards levels under) ISO.)
