[ih] Status of RFCs that were not IETF RFCs

[Greg Skinner]

I recently submitted a request to have RFC911’s status changed to Historic as a result of some things I found out about it during the course of the “first router” discussion here last fall.  The request has (unexpectedly) sparked some discussions about  how to handle the status of other RFCs that were issued before the current IETF standardization process was adopted.  In case you weren’t aware of these discussions, see the following links:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/ZLhdZge4iRrpmgVSZdXI7EVeFow/ <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/ZLhdZge4iRrpmgVSZdXI7EVeFow/>
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rfc-interest/4k87_2fColpmnhfKYe8ywiYURxM/ <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rfc-interest/4k87_2fColpmnhfKYe8ywiYURxM/>

I thought I should call attention to these discussions since several participants of this list authored or edited RFCs that fall into this category and/or might be able to provide valuable input.
