All,
The IPv6 WG chairs have had several discussions on the future of
the IPv6 WG with our AD (Jari Arkko). The recommended way forward is to
close the existing IPv6 WG and create an IPv6 maintenance working group.
The attached proposed charter describes the new group.
The sole purpose of this group is in the maintenance of the core
IPv6 protocol specifications and *not* in the development of new
solutions or changes to the specifications. For example, the deployment
of new transition tools is out of scope of this working group.
Proposals for work beyond the scope of this working group should be sent
to relevant ADs.
Please review the proposed charter and provide comments.
Regards,
Brian & Bob
