Re: [sunset4] Declaring IPv4 Historic

It occurred to me that there might be some people who have an active interest in updating the IPv4
standard in the not too distant future, such as those who want to use 240.0.0.0/4.

Has an Historic RFC ever been put back on the standards track?  Is there even a process for doing that?  (I couldn't find one offhand.)  If the IPv4 standard was reclassified as Historic, and there was some desire from an active group to update it, that could become a big mess.

As noted below, I’ve posted a draft. I thought I’d start a thread for discussing it.

PLEASE Please please read the draft before commenting. It’s very short, less than 500 words, and I anticipate a lot of people having strong feelings about it. I would really rather not waste time arguing about things it doesn’t say.

To that end, I’ve also written a blog post, explaining in a level of detail I thought inappropriate for the draft: http://www.wleecoyote.com/blog/ipv4-historic.htm

Thank you,

Subject: [sunset4] Agenda items?

As you can see, we have a meeting scheduled for BA. 
As of right now, we have a single agenda item:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-howard-sunset4-v4historic-00

While I fully expect that this item can expand to fill all available time, if there are other things that the WG wishes to discuss, please respond ASAP to request agenda time. 

Thanks,

Wes
