PROBLEMThe early network documents had to reach the right people at each participating site, so the author needed an up-to-date list of recipients and their addresses.
MECHANISMThe note lists 18 recipients, each with an organization, followed by the most current postal addresses and phone numbers the author had, and asks readers to correct them.
STATUS TODAYIt is a revision dated 1 July 1970 and was later updated by RFC 69.

§1A Distribution List

RFC 52, by Jon Postel and Steve Crocker, is a revised list dated 1 July 1970. It says that one copy only will be sent from the author's site to each person on the list.

This is not a protocol. It is administrative housekeeping from the early days of the Network Working Group, and it is useful mainly as a record of who was receiving the notes.

It is just a list of names, like the people who get a copy of the class newsletter.

§2Who Is on the List

The numbered list has 18 entries, from Abhai Bhushan of MIT to Benita Kirstel. The other organizations named in the list include MERIT, SDC, SRI, Utah, Lincoln Laboratory (LL), MITRE, Carnegie-Mellon, RAND, BB&N, Harvard, the University of Illinois, Raytheon, ARPA (Larry Roberts), Stanford, UCSB and Case University.

Eighteen people at different universities and labs each get one copy.

§3Addresses and Corrections

After the list, the note gives the most current addresses the author had, and asks recipients to correct them as necessary. Each entry has the person, the organization, a postal address and a telephone number, sometimes with an extension.

A closing note says the RFC was put into machine readable form for entry into the online RFC archives by Kathy de Graaf in March 1998.

Each name comes with a mailing address and phone number, and readers are asked to fix any mistakes.

§4Revision and Later Updates

The header marks this note as Revised, dated 1 July 70, so it replaced an earlier version of the list. The unit metadata lists it as updated by RFC 69, and its status is recorded as Unknown.

The list changes over time, so there is a newer version after this one.
