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.
