RE: Important IPv6 Policy Issue -- Your Input Requested

["Ray Plzak" <plzak () arin net>]

This thread was started by Leo Bicknell on Mon Nov 08 14:28:16 2004.  The
original post stated:

        "The IETF IPv6 working group is considering two proposals right now
for IPv6 "private networks".  Think RFC-1918 type space, but redefined for
the IPv6 world.  Those two drafts can be found at:

        
"http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-unique-local-addr-07.tx
t
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-ula-central-00.txt";

<snip>

        "Since this is a list of providers, I encourage you to read the
drafts, and submit your comments to the working group.  The information for
the working group is at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ipv6-charter.html,
and includes their mailing list archives and information on how to subscribe
and/or post."

        "Even if you disagree with me, much like voting the important thing
is that you voice your opinion."


As Leo said, these two drafts are under consideration by the IP Version 6
Working Group (ipv6).  Mail list information is:

General Discussion: ipv6 () ietf org
To Subscribe: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6
In Body: subscribe
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/index.html

Looking at the archives for the working group there has been no recent
discussion of these drafts.  In the past two days there have been over 80
posts to this thread.  This is a valuable discussion but to a large extent
the efforts can be considered as a non input into the working group as the
discussion is not on their mail list.  The IETF works best when people
directly contribute to the discussion and consensus building process.  I
encourage you to move this discussion to the working group mail list and if
you are at the IETF to attend the IPv6 Working Group at 9 AM, Thursday
morning in the Georgetown room.  The session is also multicast.
