Although written by Steve Crocker, the RFC had emerged from an early working group discussion between Steve Crocker, Steve Carr, and Jeff Rulifson. In RFC 3, which first defined the RFC series, Crocker started attributing the RFC series to the Network Working Group.

[nb 1] He was instrumental in forming a Network Working Group (NWG) in 1969 and was the instigator of the Request for Comment (RFC) series, [6] authoring the first RFC [7] and many more. [8] Crocker led other graduate students, including Jon Postel and Vint Cerf, in designing a host-host protocol known as the Network Control Program (NCP).
He ran MMDF as a telephone-based ARPANET gateway service for CSNET, which was a forerunner for NSFNET. Crocker was the author of RFC 822 , which was published in 1982 to define the format of Internet mail messages, [ 7 ] and he was the first listed author of the earlier RFC 733 on which it was based in 1977.

If an RFC is part of a proposal that is on the Standards Track, then at the first stage, the standard is proposed and subsequently organizations decide whether to implement this Proposed Standard. After the criteria in RFC 6410 is met (two separate implementations, widespread use, no errata etc.), [12] the RFC can advance to Internet Standard.
