It's simply a way to indicate that somebody has asked for a document to be considered for adoption by an RG.
Active RG Document This document has been adopted by the RG and is being actively developed.
Parked RG Document This document has lost its author or editor, is waiting for another document to be written, or cannot currently be worked on by the RG for some other reason.
In RG Last Call The document is in its final review in the RG.
