Section 6.2 of 2026 does say the following: When a standards-track specification has not reached the Internet Standard level but has remained at the same maturity level for twenty-four (24) months, and every twelve (12) months thereafter until the status is changed, the IESG shall review the viability of the standardization effort responsible for that specification and the usefulness of the technology. Following each such review, the IESG shall approve termination or continuation of the development effort, at the same time the IESG shall decide to maintain the specification at the same maturity level or to move it to Historic status. My guess is that anything marked as obsolete will be stuck at its current maturity level in perpetuity, making it a good candidate to go to Historic. 2026 seems to state that the IESG will handle this. However, Eliot's Crust removal draft could come to play here. John _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
