The RSAB is extending the community call for comments for
draft-rswg-rfc7990-updates-10. This draft allows the RPC to
change the XML of RFCs that have already been published.

The RFC Series Approval Board (RSAB) has received a request from the 
RFC Series WG (RSWG) to approve the following document as informational 
RFC on the editorial stream:

   <draft-rswg-rfc7990-updates-10> (RFC Formats and Versions)

Following RFC 9280, the RSAB solicits final comments from a wide range 
of communities. Please send substantive comments to the 
rsab@rfc-editor.org mailing lists by 2024-07-08. Please retain the 
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   In order to improve the readability of RFCs while supporting their
   archivability, the definitive version of the RFC Series transitioned
   from plain-text ASCII to XML using the RFCXML vocabulary; different
   publication versions are rendered from that base document.  This
   document describes how RFCs are published.

   This document obsoletes RFC 7990.  This document also updates the
   stability policy in RFC 9280.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:

   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rswg-rfc7990-updates/

The RSAB would like to bring special attention to the fact that this document,
which replaces RFC7990 to update the terminology and current RFC
publication practice, also changes to the properties of the RFC series
as currently outlined in RFC9280. This change means that once an RFC
is published, the definitive and publication versions of an RFC will no
longer be immutable, but may be updated by the RPC, with the utmost
care being given to preserve the original semantic content.
