1. Introduction

This document moves RFC 4693 [RFC4693] to Historic status. It also obsoletes that document.

2. Moving RFC 4693 to Historic Status

RFC 4693 [RFC4693] established the IETF Operational Notes (IONs) series of documents on the experimental basis [RFC3933]. This series was intended to discuss the set of procedures that the IETF follows, but for which the RFC publication process is an inappropriate documentation vehicle.

Per RFC 3933 [RFC3933], in March 2008, the IESG decided to terminate the IONs process experiment [IESG-IONS]. This document moves RFC 4693 to Historic status, per [HISTORIC], to reflect experiment closure. Please contact the IESG at <iesg@ietf.org> for further details, including motivation for the termination and further destiny of IONs.

3. Security Considerations

This document is of administrative nature only; therefore, there are no security issues related to it.
