I’d suggest

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4594
4594 Configuration Guidelines for DiffServ Service Classes. J.
     Babiarz, K. Chan, F. Baker. August 2006. (Format: TXT=144044 bytes)
     (Updated by RFC5865) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

It refers to

   [QBSS]     "QBone Scavenger Service (QBSS) Definition", Internet2
              Technical Report Proposed Service Definition, March 2001.

(http://mgoutell.free.fr/gridftp/QBSS/qbss-definition.txt) and states that

That’s where we came up with recommending CS1 (001000) for the traffic class.

I’m pretty sure the latter ultimately resulted in an RFC, but for some reason 
I’m not finding it. The closest thing I see is

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6297
