the quoted text came from RFC 1602 and is descriptive not proscriptive
removing a description of a process that is no longer followed makes
sense to me but might not warrant a RFC to do
but the 3rd paragraph in section 6.1.3 says:
The RFC Editor shall publish periodically an "Internet Official
Protocol Standards" RFC [1], summarizing the status of all Internet
protocol and service specifications.
is a process requirement -
this requirement is the specific text that should be removed
and is worth spinning a RFC to do
Good catch. I'll switch the citation and the quote to the bit from
6.1.3, but I'll also note the removal of the piece in 2.1. I also found
a mention in the last paragraph of 3.3. I'll make sure to note in the
document that we're removing that too.
and while you are at it - maybe you should remove the 2nd
paragraph in the same section
An official summary of standards actions completed and pending shall
appear in each issue of the Internet Society's newsletter. This
shall constitute the "publication of record" for Internet standards
actions.
should also be removed since that is not being done either
and it is not good to say we have a publication of record that
does not actually exist
I agree it should probably be removed. Should we replace it anything?
