Hi John, I suggest that, despite stumbling into it, trying to do biblical-quality exegesis on the specific text and wording of most RFCs is also a rat hole (or perhaps just a different edge of the same one). We have to be reasonable in IETF. I don't understand your reason, do you mean 2050

I of course agree with Dave Conrad that current practice has changed since 1996. FWIW I also fully agree with John. I think it is quite possible to write a quite short update of BCP 12 that keeps the technical points that are still valid and omits the policy points that have been delegated to

I agree that RFC2050 is not completely valid with the current state of the Internet, but making it historic will not solve any problem IMHO. Before making 2050 historic, we should think what is and what is not valid according with today's internet, what the technical community

I object to making RFC 2050 historic without retaining at least the content of its Section 1 as an IETF BCP. While the IETF did formally hand over details of address allocation policy to IANA, we did so knowing that the RIRs themselves, and IANA, considered themselves bound by RFC 2050 (see the

Hi Moonesamy, I also think similar with Carpenter, why reclassify to historic. rfc2050 is still valid, and why limiting the ietf? AB
