Housley [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT 6 June 2011 1. Background The FYI (For Your Information) sub-series of RFCs was established by RFC 1150 [RFC1150] in 1990 for use by the IETF User Services Area, which has not met since IETF 53 in March 2001. This RFC sub-series was designed to provide Internet users with a repository of information that regarding the Internet and might be interesting to wide range of people. The publication of RFC 1150 [RFC1150] introduced the FYI sub-series of RFCs. Since that time, a total of 38 FYI numbers have been assigned. Many other Informational RFCs have been published that are not part of the FYI sub-series. The list of documents in the FYI sub-series can be found on the RFC Editor web site at [INDEX]. 2. Conclusion of the FYI Sub-series The IESG does not intend to make any further additions to the FYI sub-series. The IESG intends to continue publishing Informational RFCs, but none of them will be assigned an FYI number. All published RFCs which currently are a part of FYI sub-series retain their FYI number. The FYI numbers continue to provide a reference point for these documents, and the FYI number should be used in citations to these documents. If a future RFC is published that obsoletes an existing member of the FYI sub-series, the new RFC will not be assigned an FYI number. 3. RFC 1150 Moved to Historic This document moves RFC 1150 [RFC1150] to Historic. The procedural information in RFC 1150 is no longer valid. If it becomes desirable to make additions to the FYI sub-series in the future, new procedures can be developed to replace this document. 4. Security Considerations No Internet security issues are anticipated by the actions described in this document. 5. IANA Considerations No IANA actions are needed. {{{ RFC Editor: Please delete this section prior to publication. }}} Housley [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT 6 June 2011 6. References 6.1.
