The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IETF Operational Notes' RFC 4693 as a Historic RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Russ Housley. A URL of this RFC is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4693/ Technical Summary This document describes a new document series (IONs) intended for use as a repository for IETF operations documents, which should be more ephemeral than RFCs, but more referenceable than internet-drafts, and with more clear handling procedures than a random Web page. It proposes to establish this series as an RFC 3933 process experiment. Working Group Summary During IETF Last Call, concern was expressed that ION documents must not be used to change matters of IETF process that require IETF consensus. This experiment doesn't change the IESG's authority, but it creates a systematic way to document procedural decisions. Text was added to clarify that IONs cannot override BCPs. The disposition of ION documents if the experiment is deemed a failure was clarified, as were other points questioned during Last Call. Finally, the IESG needs to affirm its support for the experiment.
