RFC Editor

The RFC Editor is a specialized organization responsible for managing and publishing RFCs (Request for Comments), which are formal documents that describe standards, protocols, and technologies used on the Internet. Think of RFCs as official technical blueprints that guide how devices and software communicate. The RFC Editor ensures these documents are accurate, clear, and publicly accessible, maintaining a consistent, reliable record of Internet development. They also coordinate the review and editorial process, helping researchers and engineers share ideas effectively while preserving the integrity of the standards that keep the Internet functioning smoothly.
