Once a specific down reference to a particular document has been accepted by the community (e.g., has been mentioned in several Last Calls), an Area Director may waive subsequent notices in the Last Call of down references to it. This should only occur when the same document (and version) are being referenced and when the AD believes that the document's use is an accepted part of the community's understanding of the relevant technical area. For example, the use of MD5 [RFC1321] and HMAC [RFC2104] is well known among cryptographers. > For Standards Track or BCP documents requiring normative reference to > documents of lower maturity, the normal IETF Last Call procedure will > be issued, with the need for the downward reference explicitly > documented in the Last Call itself.
