29| **Removed** | The feature has been deleted from `draft` and will be absent from the next Current revision. It remains documented in the Final revision it last appeared in. | Implementations targeting that next Current revision must not depend on the feature. |

9696The following Discord channels previously hosted authorization sub-groups. They are archived (read-only) as of this re-charter and their topics continue as `#auth-ig` threads and agenda slots. The [Enterprise-Managed Authorization IG](/community/interest-groups/enterprise-managed-authorization) is folded into this group on the same basis: EMA implementers bring interoperability and deployment progress to the call as presentation slots rather than to a standing separate group.

999. **Finalization**: Once accepted, the reference implementation must be completed. For Standards Track SEPs with observable protocol behavior, a [conformance test](#conformance-test-requirement) must also be merged. The author adds the specification changes (schema changes, specification text, and a changelog entry) to the SEP's pull request. SDK implementations are not required for a SEP to become `final`. When this work is complete, the sponsor updates the status to `final` and the SEP's PR can be merged.

114114**Important distinction**: `dormant` is not the same as `rejected`. A dormant SEP simply didn't find a sponsor - the idea may still be valid. If circumstances change (new community interest, new use cases), a dormant SEP can be revived by finding a sponsor and reopening the PR.
