Hi,

RFC 3579, which appears in the References, is an Informational RFC
(i.e., it is a down reference).

Meaning this should appear in section 9.2 instead of 9.1? Or that the text should some somehow refer back to some standard reference versus rfc3579. Sorry for my ignorant question.

it is just that when a document at a given level (Standards-track in this case) normatively references another document at a lower level (Informational in this case) it needs to be noted in the IETF LC so that reviewers and the IESG decide whether or not such a down reference is appropriate.

This is because Standards-track documents have higher requirements than Informational documents.

In short, as long as the ADs know about this downref and are OK with it, there is no problem.

Cheers,

Gonzalo
