Re: Last Call: Recognising RFC1984 as a BCP

I’ve been sitting on the sidelines because most of the arguments for and against making 1984 a BCP have been said. I am slightly on the “If RFC2026 can be a BCP, why cannot 1984 be a BCP” side of the fence.

However, since it appears we want to promote 1984 to BCP for political reasons, to be effective we need to be bulletproof in our arguments. Harald has a point here - if we are going to say ANYTHING around the press release that comes with the BCP, it has to be 110% accurate [sic].
