Personal draft have no status. Anyone who thinks they are supported by
the IETF has no idea how the IETF works.  Drafts expire in six months
and get automatically removed unless they are under consideration by the
IESG or RFC Editor. The only way to re-activate an expired draft is to
submit a new draft with at least a new version number and expiration
date. They are inherently transient documents. I don't know of any
reason to believe this one has a status any different from thousands of
other expired drafts.  In general, they are not retrievable from the
IETF, although there isn't anything stopping other people from keeping
copies.
