There are vague plans to submit Gemini to the IETF and get a RFC. As

of now, it seems a very distant project. In the mean time, there is

work going on to get a proper specification, you can follow it at

<https://gitlab.com/gemini-specification/>.

I've heard about the specs, that would be better than the current one.

I certainly hope that closed organisations like ISO or IEEE won't be

used.

Can I ask why? I mean they can cause a problem with evolving standardsbut since Gemini will be frozen anyway I don't see the specific problem.
