1.2.  Objectives
   The purpose of this present standard is to define the protocols to be
   used for Netnews in general, and for Usenet in particular, and to set
   standards to be followed by software that implements those protocols.

   It is NOT the purpose of this standard to define how the authority of
   various agencies to exercise control or oversight of the various
   parts of Usenet is established (that is itself a matter of policy).
   Nevertheless, it is assumed that such authorities will exist, and
   tools are provided within the protocols for their use.
