Introduction RFC 2050 [BCP12] describes the registry system for the distribution of globally unique Internet address space and registry operations. It also describes the rules and guidelines governing the distribution of this address space. RFC 2050 discusses about policy issues which are outside the scope of the IETF. RFC 2860 [RFC2860] mentions the assignments of IP address blocks which are within the scope of the IETF. BCP 12 [BCP12] is no longer an accurate representation of the current practice as it has been overcome by events. The role of the IETF is limited to providing guidance about IP architectural and operational considerations. This document reclassifies RFC 2050 [BCP12] as Historic. It also reclassifies RFC 1366 [RFC1366] and RFC 1466 [RFC1466] as Historic. 2. Security Considerations The reclassification of RFCs about Internet Registry Allocation Guidelines is a procedural matter. It does not affect the security of the Internet. 3. IANA Considerations This document does not request any action from IANA. 4. References 4.1.
