Niels,

Yes, it's time for this.

> For archival purposes, the last edition of the Tao as published under the process described in RFC6722 is included below. 

I'm not sure that is really a good use of bits. Why not cite an existing archive, e.g.
http://web.archive.org/web/20231115121845/https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tao/

or an earlier one, since that is already a part-retired version?

Regards
    Brian Carpenter

Since much of the information in the Tao is not keeping up with the changes of the organization and the website is providing all that information in various formats to our community, I would suggest that we move to the retirement of the Tao.
