The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RFC 1264 is Obsolete ' <draft-fenner-obsolete-1264-03.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fenner-obsolete-1264-03.txt Technical Summary This document reclassifies RFC 1264 as historic, and specifies that the normal 2026 rules for publishing IETF standards will apply to routing area specifications. This for example allows individual working groups and ADs some discretion regarding whether to require implementations prior to publication. Working Group Summary There was a significant discussion between Alex and Bill (when Alex was AD), as well as on the routing discussion mailing list. There was a very significant attempt to update 1264 rather than obsoleting it. After significant discussion it became clear that the rough concensus was that the current "normal" IETF procedures for approving documents is sufficient and appropriate. Protocol Quality Ross Callon reviewed the document. I believe that the document is clear and that the approach advocated in it (as proposed by Bill Fenner) is the right one. Note to RFC Editor When this document is approved, the status of RFC1264 should be changed to "historic". IANA Note This has no IANA implications. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
