Right, thanks Brian.

I am surprised that this causes so much traffic, but anyway, the fault is mine as "responsible AD" (read "irresponsible AD"?)

The bug was introduced post IETF last call, and spotted immediately. It did not warrant a respin of the document and an RFC Editor Note was added to fix it. Several ADs noticed during IESG evaluation and made Comments or raised Discusses having failed to note the RFC Editor Note, but they cleaned them up after discussion.

As Brian says, the announcement text is auto-generated. But it is editable, and I should have edited it. I forgot / didn't notice.

As soon as the email came out I did notice (see my Twitter feed).

I raised a ticket with the Secretariat (who were shockingly having lunch at the time) and a revised announcement was sent as soon as they were back.

If I were not the person responsible for this error I would say "Nothing to see. Move along." But I leave you to judge.

Adrian
