The Ad-Hoc Network Autoconfiguration (autoconf) working group in the Internet 
Area has concluded. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms.

This working group has reached a successful termination point. We are very 
happy with the RFC that has been produced by the working group, thank you for 
all the hard work that went into it. But it is also clear that there is not 
much energy left for further work, at least not in current form. It is better 
to close the working group and pursue further ideas (that I know many of you 
have!) either in some of the other IETF working groups, through AD sponsoring 
documents, or by proposing new work in the usual IETF way.

I do know that there is at least one implementation team that is still in the 
process of describing their DHCP-based solution, maybe there are similar 
efforts on the distributed solution space. We'd be VERY happy to AD sponsor all 
such solutions to Experimental RFCs as soon as we have those proposals in some 
reasonable shape.

The mailing list will remain open.

- Jari Arkko
