Re: RFC 2026 section 6.2



This paragraph has been sleeping for as long as I've been involved in the IETF; whenever someone raises it, the cry goes up of "don't waste resources on such unproductive work; there are more important things to do".

The oldest Proposed Standard on the books is RFC 698, from 1975.

Hi -

RFC 2026 section  6.2 says, among other things:

   When a standards-track specification has not reached the Internet
   Standard level but has remained at the same maturity level for
   twenty-four (24) months, and every twelve (12) months thereafter
   until the status is changed, the IESG shall review the viability of
   the standardization effort responsible for that specification and the
   usefulness of the technology. Following each such review, the IESG
   shall approve termination or continuation of the development effort,
   at the same time the IESG shall decide to maintain the specification
   at the same maturity level or to move it to Historic status....

Is the intent of this that the WG should be reviewed (it talks about the
"standardization effort") or that the documents' status should be
reviewed (since it talks about changing the specification to historic)?
