§1The Change Request
RFC 69, dated 22 September 1970, comes from A. Bhushan of M.I.T. He asks recipients to delete his name from their distribution lists and add that of Mr. Albert Vezza.
The RFC is marked as updating RFC 52, an earlier note that carried a distribution list.
A mailing list had the wrong name on it, so this note says who should be on it now.
§2The New Contact
The address given for Albert Vezza is Rm 831, Project MAC, 545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Mass. 02139, at M.I.T. A phone number, (617) 864-6900, and extension X5877 are included.
Nothing else is specified. There is no protocol, format or procedure in the document.
It gives the new person's mailing address and phone number so letters can find him.
§3Why It Exists
This RFC is addressed to the people who keep a distribution list, and asks for exactly one swap in it.
The text itself contains only the request. It says nothing about any later list or about who else was affected.
Notes went out to a list of people, so when a person changed, a tiny note fixed the list.
