Greetings All, The recent changes to the copyright for RFCs (RFC 5378), and the changes that will be required when draft-iab-streams-headers-boilerplates-08.txt is published, often result in the abstract not appearing on the front page of the RFC. We concur with the IETF-list comments that expressed a desire to keep the abstract on the front page of the RFC. For this reason, the RFC Editor recommends the following section order as the initial contents of an RFC. RFC header/Author information RFC Title Abstract Status of this Memo [IESG Note - when required] Copyright The RFC Editor will implement this change as of 1 July 2009. We will make requests with the appropriate individuals for the templates and tools to be updated accordingly. However, we will reorder the sections manually during the final publication stage until the updated tools are available. Thank you. RFC Editor
