It has often been the case that morality has not been given proper
consideration in the design and specification of protocols produced
within the Routing Area.  This has led to a decline in the moral
values within the Internet and attempts to retrofit a suitable
moral code to implemented and deployed protocols has been shown to
be sub-optimal.

This document specifies a requirement for all new Routing Area
Internet-Drafts to include a "Morality Considerations" section, and
gives guidance on what that section should contain.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
