For RFCs, there are two paths. If the topic is general enough (and, of
course, the advice is good enough), Russ Housley or I would consider
sponsoring the document as a BCP. If it's narrow or we're not
interested for some reason (other than quality, of course), it could be
an individual submission. I encourage both paths.
