	TSR : O&P Wiki : Protocol : ICcode This article is part of the O&P Wiki hosted by The Slave Register This is the version from 24 Dec 06, 11:04 PM. The full history of this article will show any more recent versions. ICcode for "Protocol" A protocol is a rule or code of formally correct behaviour, especially describing how an activity should be performed. In D/s, protocol is usually symbolic of [wiki=Submission]submission[/wiki] and is therefore a type of [wiki=Ritual]ritual[/wiki]. Protocol is more specific than [wiki=Etiquette]etiquette[/wiki], which may also apply to informal environments. The phrase "High Protocol" is frequently used in D/s and the ownership subculture. Protocols are conveniently defined and compared by writing a [wiki=Protocol schema]protocol schema[/wiki] - a systematic description of the Classes, Dress and symbols, Speech rules, and Deportment involved.
