Marshall, I think this is an interesting idea. It is, however, one that would require some staffing, budget, working with ISOC on arrangements, etc. I don't see any of those things as a big deal, but I could be wrong. And they are certainly a bigger deal than assigning an ISSN number and, if necessary, simply running a printer and stuffing an envelope (as Bill suggested, we've actually done that in the more or less distant past). So my constructive suggestions are (i) Let's not make this hard for ourselves. (ii) Assigning an ISSN to the series would not interfere, in any way, with what you suggest should the demand be there, either for library subscriptions, as an added symbolic benefit for some level of ISOC membership, or both. And, for some of the purposes for which an ISSN for the RFC series would be a good idea, assigning that number to a compendium that includes non-RFC materials would be self-defeating. (iii) As someone suggested earlier in this thread, the IETF Journal should probably have an ISSN of its own, but that is a quite separate issue. regards, john _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
