IETF v6ops WG Charter does not include updates to the
IPv6 specifications. Quoting from this WG Charter:
"Specifying any protocols or transition
mechanisms is out of scope of the WG."
IETF 6MAN WG Charter DOES include updates to the
IPv6 specifications, again quoting from this WG Charter:
"The working group will address protocol limitations/issues
discovered during deployment and operation."
This is why the draft-*-ra-guard-* documents (quoted above)
belong in the IETF v6ops WG, while the 2 different I-Ds
that I mentioned belong here in the IETF 6MAN WG.
Now, in practice, the 2 draft-ietf-6man-* I-Ds that I mentioned
before already have been reviewed by many folks in v6ops,
as part of examining the RA Guard documents, and I believe
there is broad support for these updates within v6ops.
However, these 2 protocol specification updates are required
to be handled by the IETF 6MAN WG, simply as a matter
of the applicable IETF WG charters and usual IETF processes.
