[newtrk] new mailing list- old-standards

[For those who didn't see this on the ietf-announce list]

Dear all,

The NEWTRK WG has been discussing draft-ietf-newtrk-cruft-01 for
some time now. The WG has consensus that it would be worthwhile to
run an experiment to figure out whether the process suggested can
be achieved.

This is a call for participants in that experiment.

A new mailing list "old-standards@alvestrand.no" has been created to
discuss those documents that have not made full Internet standard and
are beyond the time limits stated in RFC 2026. After a suitable time
we'll organize ourselves and come up with a list of documents that we
believe (a) should be left alone (b) should be marked Historic or (c)
should be advanced. We'll create a record of the documents discussed
and produce a recommendation that the NEWTRK working group will then
consider. We are aiming to have some sampling to take to the next IETF
meeting in Minneapolis in March.

The group will decide which documents to consider, criteria to make a
determination, and then proceed to take such actions necessary to make a
determination, perhaps iteratively, this being an experiment.

Aside from the list of documents, their outcomes, and their reasons,
hopefully the list will provide useful input into ways to update
draft-ietf-newtrk-cruft-00.txt.

I would like to invite any and all interested parties to participate.
