 To __refine__ an RFC, propose changes to it through additional PRs. Typically these changes are driven by experience that accumulates during or after adoption. Minor refinements that just improve clarity can happen inline with lightweight review. Status is still ADOPTED.
 
+#### STALLED
+An RFC is __stalled__ when a [proposed](#proposed) RFC makes
+no progress towards implementation such that it is extremely unlikely it will ever move forward. The __stalled__ state differs from [retired](#retired) in that it is an RFC that has never been implemented or superseded. Like the [retired](#retired) state, it is (likely) an end state and the RFC will not proceed further. Such an RFC remains in the repository on the off chance it will ring a chord with others, be returned to the [proposed](#proposed) state, and continue to evolve.
+
 #### RETIRED
 An RFC is __retired__ when it is withdrawn from community consideration by its authors, when implementation seems permanently stalled, or when significant refinements require a superseding document. If a retired RFC has been superseded, its `Superseded By` field should contain a link to the newer spec, and the newer spec's `Supersedes` field should contain a link to the older spec. Permalinks are not broken.
