6.13. Organization

The Organization header content is a short phrase  identify-
ing the poster's organization:

     Organization-content = nonblank-text

This header is typically supplied by the posting agent.  The
Organization content SHOULD  mention  geographical  location
(e.g.  city  and  country)  when  it is not obvious from the
organization's name.

     NOTE: The motive here is that the organization  is
     often difficult to guess from the mailing address,
     is not always supplied in  a  signature,  and  can
     help identify the poster to the reader.

     NOTE: There is no "s" in "Organization".

The  Organization  content  is  provided  for identification
only, and does not imply that  the  poster  speaks  for  the
organization  or  that  the  article represents organization
policy.  Posting agents SHOULD permit the poster to override
a local default Organization header.
