A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Valuable Antique Documents: A Model for Advancement
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-newtrk-antiques-01.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2004-9-24
RFC 2026 and some of its predecessors require that Proposed and Draft
Standards either advance in grade within a reasonable period of time
or that they expire and be moved to Historic. That procedure has
never been followed on a systematic basis. A new procedure has been
proposed that would make that action easier for protocols that have
not gotten any real acceptance. In the interest of symmetry,
fairness, and an orderly attic, it is worth noting that there are a
number of protocol descriptions which have been at less than Full
Standard level for a long time but which have proven their value by
the traditional criteria of multiple interoperable implementations
This document provides a procedure for upgrading such documents to
Full Standards without creating an unreasonable burden on authors
purely to meet the needs of procedural rituals or placing an
unreasonable load on groups charged with performing other tasks in
the IETF.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-newtrk-antiques-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
