The IESG has received a request to consider Tags for the Identification

been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working
Group.

This document will obsolete RFC1766, currently a Proposed Standard.

If RFC 1766 is obsoleted, wouldn't any Proposed Standard which has
a normative reference to RFC 1766 also be obsolete?

This would include RFC 2596 (Use of Language Codes in LDAP) and
likely others.  Has anyone a complete list of Standard Track RFC
which have normative references to 1766?   I believe that such
is needed to judge the impact of the proposal.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to the
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by November 
20, 2000.
