1. Introduction
[Editor Note: ietf@ietf.org is the mailing-list for discussing this
draft.]
In the two decades after publication of RFC 2026 [RFC2026] the IETF
has evolved its review processes of Proposed Standard RFCs and thus
RFC 2026 section 4.1.1 no longer accurately describes IETF Proposed
Standards.
This document only updates the characterization of Proposed Standards
from RFC2026 Section 4.1.1 and does not speak to or alter the
procedures for the maintenance of Standards Track documents from RFC
2026 and RFC 6410 [RFC6410]. For complete understanding of the
requirements for standardization those documents should be read in
conjunction with this document.

level.
Initially it was intended that most IETF technical specifications
