Mr. Thompson,

You may already have received other replies on the "status of RFCs" but
just in case... These are indeed Requests for Comment. Only a few of
the RFCs are adopted as Internet Standards; those that are will be 
identified by Jon Postel on the instruction of the Internet Activities
Board which is chaired by Dave Clark (MIT Lab for Computer Science).

There is an official documents list which is published as an RFC and
updated periodically by Jon Postel. Perhaps Jon will be good enough
to remind us of the RFC number of the most recent of these summaries.

Vint Cerf
