       Retirement of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards"
                           Summary Document

Abstract

  This document updates RFC 2026 to no longer use STD 1 as a summary of
  "Internet Official Protocol Standards".  It obsoletes RFC 5000 and
  requests the IESG to move RFC 5000 (and therefore STD 1) to Historic
  status.

RFC 7100                   Retirement of STD 1             December 2013


1.  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.
