Hi,

RFC 2026 defines what an Internet Standard is, but it does not restrict the plain English word “standard” to that meaning. RFCs routinely use “standard” to refer to external standards. When the intent is specifically an Internet standard or standards track, the text normally says so explicitly.

So an unqualified “standard” can certainly refer to an external standard. See e.g., BCP 166.

Cheers,
John Preuß Mattsson

If you interpret the word “standard” as defined in United Nations A-HRC-53-42 ...

This is wrong.

Within the IETF, interpret the word standard as defined in RFC 2026 etc.
