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 settle matters of policy,
   nor aspects of software behaviour which do not impinge upon the
   generation, transmission, storate and reception of articles, nor how
   the authority of various agencies to exercise control or oversight of
   the various parts of Usenet is established. For these purposes, a
   separate informational document [USEAGE] is being provided.

   Nevertheless, it is assumed that agencies with the necessary
   authority will exist, and tools are provided within the protocols for
   their use.
