The discussion on the proposed milestone was at IETF-81, Quebec City,

followed-up with the ADs, with a result that the document milestone
proposed BCP status.
This is a quick comment. Although RFC 2309 is informational, it was
interesting to read.
As a nit about the Abstract, I suggest using "memo" instead of "document".
In Section 4:
"This section is informative, not normative."
I read "informative" as providing useful or interesting
information. I don't know what "not normative" is. The section is
actually narrative. It explains why the intended status of the memo
should be BCP (note that I have not read the minutes).
The memo is basically recommendations about RED in byte mode or
packet mode. I did not fully appreciate the writing style on my
first reading of the memo.
In summary, the answers for whether this memo should be a BCP are 'it
depends', 'no' and 'yes'.
