RFC 1 - Happy Birthday
Technical innovation on the internet, which drive the standards to make sure it all works together, are controlled by individual Request for Comments (RFC) documents. These document the initial ideas and are then developed as those with expertise comment to make the idea better. Not all RFCs become standards but nearly all of the standards our technology relies on started life as RFCs. There are over 9000 at the time of writing.
The RFC system was invented by Steve Crocker and he published RFC 1 on April 7th. 1969. Each year we publish a little Happy Birthday message because we know the impact this has had on the whole world!
