 A BIP may only change status from Draft (or Rejected) to Proposed, when the author deems it is complete, has a working implementation (where applicable), and has community plans to progress it to the Final status.
 
-BIPs should be changed from Draft or Proposed status, to Rejected status, upon request by any person, if they have not made progress in three years. Such a BIP may be changed to Draft status if the champion provides revisions that meaningfully address public criticism of the proposal, or to Proposed status if it meets the criteria required as described in the previous paragraph.
+BIPs should be changed from Draft or Proposed status, to Inactive status, upon request by any person, if they have not made progress in three years, or to Rejected status, if there is outstanding public criticism and the champion has not made revisions that meaningfully address said criticism. A champion may choose to Reject their own proposal at any time.

+Such a BIP may be changed to Draft status if any progress is made or if the champion provides revisions that meaningfully address public criticism of the proposal, or to Proposed status if it meets the criteria required as described above.
 
 An Proposed BIP may progress to Final only when specific criteria reflecting real-world adoption has occurred. This is different for each BIP depending on the nature of its proposed changes, which will be expanded on below. Evaluation of this status change should be objectively verifiable, and/or be discussed on the development mailing list.
