It is a very lengthy process. It calls for consensus - they work in 
technical issues. There is a review by the Aread Director etc. (they are 
organized with elected structure of trusted techies) etc... At the end of 
the maturation process and RFC may be approved. But is only an RFC without 
necessarily much weight? It acquires weight over the years. Then it may be 
made a standard.

Documents of the importance of Bylaws would probebly mature over 2 or 3 years.
