This is a quick comment. Although RFC 2309 is informational, it was interesting to read.

As a nit about the Abstract, I suggest using "memo" instead of "document".

In Section 4:

 "This section is informative, not normative."

I read "informative" as providing useful or interesting information. I don't know what "not normative" is. The section is actually narrative. It explains why the intended status of the memo should be BCP (note that I have not read the minutes).

The memo is basically recommendations about RED in byte mode or packet mode. I did not fully appreciate the writing style on my first reading of the memo.

In summary, the answers for whether this memo should be a BCP are 'it depends', 'no' and 'yes'.
