Public Internet Documents and Activities

In connection with Internet infrastructure activities, ISI maintains public archives of Internet documents, including:

• Internet Notes, including
  • RFCs, or "Requests for Comments", the official documents and standards of the Internet
  • FYIs, RFCs published primarily to conveniently summarize information from other RFCs or from common Internet practice
  • STDs, those few RFCs that are considered essential standards for the operation of the Internet
  • IMRs, Internet Monthly Reports, which are also emailed monthly-- email the list maintainer for details.
  • Internet Drafts (draft RFCs, FYIs, and STDs)
• The Minutes of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB)
• The domain administrator for the Internet .US domain can be found at ISI. See RFC1480, "The US Domain", or email to usdomreg@isi.edu for information.
• ISI maintains records for the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA):
  • MIB -- The official Management Information Bases for SNMP.
  • Media-Types -- the official MIME media types.
  See RFC 1700, "Assigned Numbers," for more information on what the numbers mean and how the IANA works.
