The IESG has received a request from an individual to reclassify RFC 4744 (NETCONF Protocol over the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP)) to HISTORIC. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf at ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-10-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg at ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
