I'm not picking on the fellow who sent this message, but I
received considerable feedback in private on vendor-assigned
MAC number -> vendor mapping message; that perhaps justifies sending a
public message to l-kernel.
The RFC you want is 1700, aka "Assigned Numbers", around page
170 (per the document pagination) as I recall. It's available at ISI's
site or at any one of many web-based archives.
Interesting side-note is that this rfc, like so many other
important documents, was co-authored by Postel.

Regards,
Daniel
