SM:
This is a call for review of "List of Internet Official Protocol Standards:
Replaced by an Online Database" prior to potential approval as an IAB stream
RFC.
The document is available for inspection here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rfced-rfcxx00-retired/
From Section 2.1 of RFC 2026:
'The status of Internet protocol and service specifications is
summarized periodically in an RFC entitled "Internet Official
Protocol Standards".'
My guess is that draft-rfced-rfcxx00-retired cannot update RFC 2026. Does
the IAB have any objection if I do something about that?
This seems to require coordination with the General Area Director. I suggest
that you ask Jari.
From Section 3:
"This document formally retires STD 1. Identifier STD 1 will not be
re-used unless there is a future need to publish periodic snapshots
of the Standards Track documents (i.e., unless the documentation is
resumed)."
The document argues that STD 1 is historic as there is an online list now.
The above reserves an option to restart periodic snapshots if there is a
future need. I suggest removing that option as I presume that the IAB has
thought carefully about the long term evolution of the Series before taking
the decision to retire STD 1.
I tend to agree. I think the point is that STD 1 will not take on another
meaning.
