Re: Last Call: <draft-resnick-retire-std1-00.txt> (Retirement of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" Summary Document) to Best Current Practice

["Bradner, Scott" <[e-mail]>]

the quoted text came from RFC 1602 and is descriptive not proscriptive
removing a description of a process that is no longer followed makes
sense to me but might not warrant a RFC to do

but the 3rd paragraph in section 6.1.3 says:
   The RFC Editor shall publish periodically an "Internet Official
   Protocol Standards" RFC [1], summarizing the status of all Internet
   protocol and service specifications.

is a process requirement - 
this requirement is the specific text that should be removed 
and is worth spinning a RFC to do

and while you are at it - maybe you should remove the 2nd 
paragraph in the same section
   An official summary of standards actions completed and pending shall
   appear in each issue of the Internet Society's newsletter.  This
   shall constitute the "publication of record" for Internet standards
   actions.

should also be removed since that is not being done either
and it is not good to say we have a publication of record that 
does not actually exist
