Title: Repurposing the STD Designation
State: Active
Authors: John Klensin
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-06-07
Over the years, it has been repeatedly observed that the STD nnnn and BCP
nnnn designation for IETF Standards has not worked well, either as a stable
reference for external specifications or as a combined reference for
multiple documents that are linked together into a single specification.
This document proposes two changes that have been discussed on and off for
some time, but never written up or considered as specific proposals. The
first of these would assign a STD (or BCP) number to a specification when
it enters the first level of the Standards Track (or is first designated as
a BCP). The second would turn STDs and BCPs into actual documents that
describe what they identify and their publication and change history.
