Existing IETF procedures were used, as best I understand, which shows that we do NOT need any new procedures. As I noted, that use happened to have an incorrect result, because people on the IESG were apparently unaware of the widespread use of that specification (albeit within private networks on nearly all continents, rather than on the global Internet). Many protocols are used primarily or exclusively within private networks. As many people have already said here, it is impossible to measure such usage, which means mistakes are likely. Better to leave things alone. > I agree with you here - IETF does not have the authority > on the RFCs from other streams. For IAB, IRTF and IS > streams it is clear, but as for pre-IETF ones? Also quite clear. Pre-IETF RFCs should be left alone. Again, I do not believe this document is fixable. I think it should be dropped, as should further discussion of publishing this document.
