IPv6 RFCs and Standards Working Groups
Since the early days of the Internet, the Internet Engineering Task Force has created and defined all of its standards through Working Groups, which discuss and issue informal Internet-Drafts on specific topics. Once 'rough consensus and working code' is achieved, the results are published through the RFC (Request for Comments) series. As well as Standards, the IETF also publishes Experimental, Informational and Historic RFCs, and Best Current Practices. See RFC2026 - The Internet Standards Process - for more information. See here for a searchable list of RFCs.
