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 Best Current Practice 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.
