It obsoletes RFC 5000 and   requests the IESG to move RFC 5000 (and therefore STD 1) to Historic   status.Status of This Memo   This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.   This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force   (IETF).  It has been approved for publication by the Internet   Engineering Steering Group (IESG).

Retiring STD 1   RFC 2026 [RFC2026] and its predecessors call for the publication of   an RFC describing the status of IETF protocols:      The RFC Editor shall publish periodically an "Internet Official      Protocol Standards" RFC [1], summarizing the status of all      Internet protocol and service specifications.   The "Internet Official Protocol Standards" document, now as RFC 5000   [RFC5000], has always been listed in the Internet Standard series as   STD 1.  However, the document has not been kept up to date in recent   years, and it has fallen out of use in favor of the online list   produced by the RFC Editor [STDS-TRK].  The IETF no longer sees the   need for the document to be maintained.  Therefore, this document   updates RFC 2026 [RFC2026], effectively removing the above-mentioned   paragraph from Section 6.1.3, along with the paragraph from   Section 2.1 that states:      The status of Internet protocol and service specifications is      summarized periodically in an RFC entitled "Internet Official      Protocol Standards" [1].  This RFC shows the level of maturity and      other helpful information for each Internet protocol or service      specification (see section 3).   and the paragraph from Section 3.3 that states:      The "Official Protocol Standards" RFC (STD1) lists a general      requirement level for each TS, using the nomenclature defined in      this section.  This RFC is updated periodically.  In many cases,      more detailed descriptions of the requirement levels of particular      protocols and of individual features of the protocols will be      found in appropriate ASs.   Additionally, this document obsoletes RFC 5000 [RFC5000], the current   incarnation of that document, and requests that the IESG move that   document (and therefore STD 1) to Historic status.   Finally, RFC 2026 [RFC2026] Section 6.1.3 also calls for the   publication of an "official summary of standards actions completed   and pending" in the Internet Society's newsletter.  This has also not   been done in recent years, and the "publication of record" for   standards actions has for some time been the minutes of the IESG   [IESG-MINUTES].  Therefore, that paragraph is also effectively   removed from Section 6.1.3.Resnick                   Best Current Practice                 [Page 2]RFC 7100                   Retirement of STD 1             December 20132.
