List of Internet Official Protocol Standards:
Replaced by a Web Page

Abstract

At one time, the RFC Editor published snapshots of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards". These documents were known as xx00
documents, the last of which was published in May 2008. These
snapshots have been replaced by a web page, so the RFC Editor will no
longer be publishing these snapshots as RFCs. As a result, the RFC
Editor will classify unpublished RFC xx00 numbers through 7000 as
never issued. Starting with the RFC number 7100, xx00 numbers will
be available for assignment.

Status of This Memo

This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for informational purposes.

This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB)
and represents information that the IAB has deemed valuable to
provide for permanent record. It represents the consensus of the
Internet Architecture Board (IAB). Documents approved for
publication by the IAB are not a candidate for any level of Internet
Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

RFC 7101 Official Protocol Standards December 2013


1. Introduction

[RFC1083], published in December 1988, was the first document
published in the RFC series that detailed a "list of documents that
define the standards for the Internet protocol suite" and any ongoing
experiments. Snapshots were published from time to time. [RFC1280]
was the first of these publications to be published as STD 1.
Starting with [RFC2200], RFC numbers ending with 00 were reserved for
snapshots of the Official Protocol Standards. [RFC5000], published
in May 2008, was the last snapshot documented in an RFC. This
document notes that the xx00 documents are being replaced by the
online resource provided by the RFC Editor, and the tradition of
publishing snapshots is being discontinued. RFC numbers typically
reserved for these documents (i.e., those numbers ending with 00)
will be available for assignment to other RFCs-to-be.

2. Online List of Official Internet Protocol Standards

In the past, publishing a snapshot of the current list of Standards
Track and Experimental documents was helpful to the Internet
community, as the information was not available otherwise. In 1996,
[RFC2026] documented the IETF's desire for the periodic publication
of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards". However, in 2000, the
RFC Editor produced an online list that is dynamically updated and
available to individuals with access to the public Internet
[STDS-TRK]. As the list has been online for over 10 years, and the
IETF has indicated that they no longer see a need for the snapshot
document to be maintained [RFC7100], the official list of Standards
Track documents will now be provided by the online list.

3. STD 1

STD 1 has been in an abnormal state since RFC 5000 was published.
After consultation with the IAB, RFC 5000 was published as an
Informational document, but it was still identified as STD 1 in the
document header. The status was listed as Informational because the
document does not describe an implementable Standard. However, it
was associated with STD 1 to keep the document consistent with its
historic connection to the subseries identifier.

The IETF has decided to move RFC 5000 (and therefore STD 1) to
Historic status [RFC7100]. Marking STD 1 as Historic will result in
the identifier STD 1 not being available for future use.

4. Cleaning Up RFC Editor Data

As part of the cleanup related to ending the series of RFC xx00
documents titled "Internet Official Protocol Standards", the RFC
Editor will mark a number of unused numbers ending in 00 through RFC
7000 "never issued". All RFC numbers ending in 00 from 7100 upwards
will now be available to be assigned for any RFC.

5. Security Considerations

This document does not impact the security of the Internet.
