The RFC bot takes down RFC tags after 30 days have passed.  The editor who closed the discussion didn't realize this either.  I replied to his concern with the relevant links to the RFC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Research#Making_a_policy_rfc   It was that post that prompted the switch the closing decision from invalid RFC to valid RFC and policy. 

For what it is worth, I tried to advertise this proposed policy as closely to the recommendations of WP:Policy and WP:RFC as I could.  

We'll keep pushing.  Your participation is invaluable.

The point is well taken that the proposal was not that well advertised
and I still haven't found a link to the RFC.
