> When this document first came to the working group (in March 2021), we had 
> quite some discussion about the intended status over an extended period of 
> time.  It was first put forward as a Standards Track document and remained 
> with that indication until Version 19, published in October 2024, when it was 
> decided by the Working Group that it should be an Experimental document.  Now 
> at Version 23 it still indicates that intended status.
> 
> At the time the decision to make it Experimental was made, the primary basis 
> for that decision is that the RDAP protocol, on the Standards Track, was 
> widely deployed and it mandated support for jCard.  It was believed by a 
> majority that putting an alternative on the Standards Track would create 
> ambiguity among the installed base.  It was agreed that before moving the 
> document onto the Standards Track we should create an experiment and test the 
> uptake.  The request of the authors was to specify the experiment in the 
> document and include how to evaluate the success of the experiment.
> 
> Absent any new information the Chairs have been maintained that decision of 
> the working group.
> 
> At this time new information has come forward and so a formal request to 
> reconsider the status of this document is appropriate.  During our meeting at 
> IETF124 the working group had a brief discussion of the new information.  You 
> can review the Meetecho recording and transcript here, shortly after time

> In addition to the continuing work by Mario Loffredo to implement the 
> specification, the jsContact specification has been published on the 
> Standards Track (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9553.html) and the RPP 
> Working Group is considering the use of jsContact (see its mailing list and 
> meeting summaries).
