   1 # OPF External RFCs
   2
   3 Funded by NLnet Grants as part of EU Horizon 2023
   4
   5 These are Draft Proposals only that are in the process of being
   6 written and submitted to the
   7 [OpenPOWER Foundation ISA TWG](https://openpower.foundation/groups/isa/).
   8 They are not part of the official Power ISA unless ratified by the
   9 OPF ISA TWG.
  10 [Power ISA is Trademarked](https://trademarks.justia.com/789/79/power-78979814.html)
  11 and use of the ISA covered by an
  12 [Open EULA](https://openpowerfoundation.org/blog/final-draft-of-the-power-isa-eula-released/)
  13 Draft unofficial proposals in PDF form may be found on the
  14 [Libre-SOC FTP site](https://ftp.libre-soc.org/opf_ext_rfc)
  15
  16 Constructive Feedback on Libre-SOC Draft Proposals is best discussed on the
  17 [Libre-SOC ISA mailing list](http://lists.libre-soc.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-soc-isa). Note that once RFCs are formally submitted, involvement in
  18 their discussion within the OPF ISA TWG first requires OPF
  19 Membership, and once joined a request to be submitted to join the ISA TWG.
  20 Actual submission of an External RFC however does **not** require OPF Membership.

  22 To add a new RFC, take a copy of an existing RFC and use it as a template,
  23 ensure to keep the '''opf_rfc''' tagging so that the RFC appears
  24 automatically on this page.  In the box below type the next available
  25 number "lsNNN" to begin creating a new page.
  26
  27 Please note: research, writing, development, and any discussion of RFCs before 25oct2022
  28 (ls001, ls002, ls003) do not qualify for NLnet funding under
  29 [[nlnet_2022_opf_isa_wg]] because NLnet Grants are not retrospective.
  30 However *further* work on those 3 RFCs *does* qualify (because the
  31 further work is initiated after 25oct2022, the Grant Approval date).
