Resend of my previous message: I mistyped the tools email address. Cathy I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. This draft reports on the IETF Operational Notes Process (ION) process experiment, which was intended to provide a repository for operational documents that were intended to stand somewhere between RFC's and Internet Drafts by being less permanent than RFC's but easier to reference than Internet Drafts. This document describes the RFC's related to this experiment, and the IONs that were published. It also formally notes the termination of the experiment, and the reason for its termination: namely that IESG statements and web pages already fulfilled the purpose which IONs were designed for. The document also gives a description of the subsequent history of the IONs, all except one of which were re-published in another form. This document does not have much to do with security, since it merely records the history of the of an experimental method of publishing documents, and the only issue was that an acceptable method of publishing the documents already existed. However, I have a little problem with the statement in the security considerations section that IONs did not include protocol specifications and therefore terminating this series is not believed to have any impact on security of the Internet. I can think of plenty of IETF documents that don't have include protocol specifications but do have an impact on security, e.g. informational RFC's on best security practices. I would recommend that the authors instead say that since the it was determined that the information in IONs could be distributed by other means, terminating this series should not have any impact on security.
