Too late. The decision was made and implemented before the IAB
asked for a final review of these document. So, whether
assigning DOIs to the RFC Series is a good idea or a bad one,
whether the format chosen for the DOI suffix is optimal or not,
etc., the discussion is essentially OBE. At least as the IAB
has chosen to structure things, it needed to occur with the RFC
Editor and/or RSOC [1] many months ago.
The discussion with RFC Editor and RSOC has occurred. IAB asked to put
the document on hold until after DOI were implemented by RFC Editor.
This project just completed.
