1.2. Objectives
The purpose of this present standard is to define the format of
articles and the protocols to be used for Netnews in general, and for
Usenet in particular, and to set standards to be followed by software
that implements those protocols.
It is NOT the purpose of this standard to define how the authority of
various agencies to exercise control or oversight of the various
parts of Usenet is established (that is itself a matter of policy).
Nevertheless, it is assumed that such authorities will exist, and
tools are provided within the protocols for their use.
