Retiring STD 1 + + RFC 2026 [RFC2026] and its predecessors call for the publication of + an RFC describing the status of IETF protocols: + + The RFC Editor shall publish periodically an "Internet Official + Protocol Standards" RFC [1], summarizing the status of all + Internet protocol and service specifications. + + The "Internet Official Protocol Standards" document, now as RFC 5000 + [RFC5000], has always been listed in the Internet Standard series as + STD 1. However, the document has not been kept up to date in recent + years, and it has fallen out of use in favor of the online list + produced by the RFC Editor [STDS-TRK]. The IETF no longer sees the + need for the document to be maintained. Therefore, this document + updates RFC 2026 [RFC2026], effectively removing the above-mentioned + paragraph from Section 6.1.3, along with the paragraph from + Section 2.1 that states: + + The status of Internet protocol and service specifications is + summarized periodically in an RFC entitled "Internet Official + Protocol Standards" [1]. This RFC shows the level of maturity and + other helpful information for each Internet protocol or service + specification (see section 3). + + and the paragraph from Section 3.3 that states: + + The "Official Protocol Standards" RFC (STD1) lists a general + requirement level for each TS, using the nomenclature defined in + this section. This RFC is updated periodically. In many cases, + more detailed descriptions of the requirement levels of particular + protocols and of individual features of the protocols will be + found in appropriate ASs. + + Additionally, this document obsoletes RFC 5000 [RFC5000], the current + incarnation of that document, and requests that the IESG move that + document (and therefore STD 1) to Historic status. + + Finally, RFC 2026 [RFC2026] Section 6.1.3 also calls for the + publication of an "official summary of standards actions completed + and pending" in the Internet Society's newsletter. This has also not + been done in recent years, and the "publication of record" for + standards actions has for some time been the minutes of the IESG + [IESG-MINUTES]. Therefore, that paragraph is also effectively + removed from Section 6.1.3. + + + + + + +Resnick Best Current Practice [Page 2] + +RFC 7100 Retirement of STD 1 December 2013 + + +2.
