At least one person was confused by some of the text in RFC 6410. The authors
of the document all agree that the proposed errata provides improved text. If
no one raises concerns with this text in the next few weeks, then this RFC
errata will change state from "reported" to "approved."

Type: Editorial
Reported by: Russ Housley <housley(_at_)vigilsec(_dot_)com>
Section: 2.2
Original Text
-------------
After review and consideration of significant errata, the IESG will
perform an IETF-wide Last Call of at least four weeks on the
requested reclassification. If there is consensus for
reclassification, the RFC will be reclassified without publication of
a new RFC.
Corrected Text
--------------
After review and consideration of significant errata, the IESG will
perform an IETF-wide Last Call of at least four weeks on the
requested reclassification. If there is consensus for
reclassification, the RFC will be reclassified with or without
publication of a new RFC.
Notes
-----
Some people seem to have interpreted this text in a more restrictive manner
than intended by the authors. Advancement from Proposed Standard to
Internet Standard does not require the publication an new RFC.
Reclassification of an existing RFC is allowed, but reclassification in
conjunction with publication of a new RFC is also allowed.
Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
