The plan presented was to open a new Errata that describes the errors in the Fragmentation text in Section 4.5 of RFC8200 and include the revised text in sec4-5-new.txt in the errata, and then close Errata 5170, 5171, 5172, and 5173 as “Rejected" with a pointer to the new Errata.  The new Errata would then be marked as “Verified”.  The slides can be found at:
