00 | Amy Vezza | The following approval message was sent From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Cc: RFC Editor , john-ietf@jck.com Subject: Document Action: ASCII format for network interchange to … The following approval message was sent From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Cc: RFC Editor , john-ietf@jck.com Subject: Document Action: ASCII format for network interchange to Internet Standard The IESG has approved changing the status of the following document: - ASCII format for network interchange (rfc20) to Internet Standard This document action is documented at: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-rfc20-ascii-format-to-standard/ A URL of the affected document is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc20/ Status Change Details: RFC 20 has status "Unknown" only because it comes from a time that predates both the IETF and our use of the term "standard" (with or without qualifications) to describe Internet technical specifications. RFC 20, which is the best reference for the IETF to use for ASCII format, is clearly an Internet Standard, and this adjusts the historical record by reclassifying RFC 20 as such. Personnel Barry Leiba is the responsible Area Director. |

I'll probably get more torqued about this when we try to move Informational or Experimental documents to the Standards Track. And I think jumping straight to Internet Standard is fishy. (And I think this is a dubious thing to do in light of RFC 2026 section 7, which, ironically enough, itself references ANSI X3.4-1986). But I think once we do write down such an explanation of when it is appropriate to use the status change tool, we'd find that RFC 20 is the kind of thing that we would want to do that with: It's something that gets referenced from Standards Track documents, if we wrote down RFC 20 today it would be on the Standards Track, and it satisfies all of the requirements for being on the Standards Track. So I'm not going to object. I won't ballot "Yes", because if I were the sponsor of this document, I'd get the explanation of when we should and should not use the status change tool *before* I went on to approve of this document, but I'm not going to stand in the way of this. |
