Because of the creation of the Web and Internet Transport (WIT) area and the 22 WGs that changed area (per this announcement), the following actions have occurred on rfc-editor.org:

• On the RFC search page, search by Area: WIT returns RFCs produced by active WGs that are now part of WIT.
• On the errata page, search by Area: WIT returns errata from RFCs produced by active WGs that are now part of WIT.
• On both pages, search by Area: TSV returns data for RFCs produced by concluded WGs of the Transport (TSV) area. (Errata reports will be directed to the WIT area.)
• For the metadata of a given RFC from the IETF Stream, the “Source” shows the working group and the current area (rather than the area at the time of publication). Example: RFC 9369 shows quic (wit), rather than quic (tsv).

By the numbers (as of 12 March 2024):

• 22 active WGs changed area. [Complete list below.]
• 16 WGs moved from TSV and ART to WIT.
• 6 WGs moved to and from other areas.
• 348 RFCs were produced by the concluded WGs in TSV.
• On the RFC search page:
  • search by Area: WIT yields the 330 RFCs from the 16 active WGs that are now in WIT.
  • search by Area: TSV yields the 348 RFCs from the concluded WGs in TSV.
• On the errata page:
  • search by Area: WIT yields errata from RFCs from the active WGs that are now in WIT.
    • 31 errata are awaiting review, i.e., Reported status.
  • search by Area: TSV yields errata from the RFCs from the concluded WGs in TSV.
    • 6 errata are awaiting review, i.e., Reported status.

At this time, rfc-editor.org handles this change differently than the Datatracker; please see "Update on WIT transition" (18 January 2024) for how this was handled in the Datatracker.
