**Request For Comment (RFC)** is an alternative to the Technology Adoption Process allowing an OMG member to request OMG adoption of an uncontentious specification without requiring a Request for Proposals to be issued.

==== IETF ====
A **Request for Comments (RFC)** is a formal document drafted by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that describes the specifications for a particular technology. When an RFC is ratified, it becomes a formal standards document. RFCs were first used during the creation of the ARPANET protocols that came to establish what became today's [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:internet|Internet]]. They continue to be issued on an ongoing basis as the technology underlying the Internet evolves.
