Several people have now said that they found the draft moniker draft-mrw-nat66 
confusing, that they thought it was unnecessary to read the draft to find out 
what it was talking about but simply presumed that they could comment on 
stateful NATs as part of the topic to the exclusion of reading or commenting on 
the draft on the table. Margaret and I will talk next week about what to change 
the draft moniker to, to facilitate discussion of prefix translation. We will 
then set up some other discussion form in which we can have a productive 
discussion of stateless/algorithmic/whatever network prefix translation, and 
move the conversation there.

If this group is adamant that it wants to discuss stateful NAT for IPv6, please 
feel free to continue failing to listen to each other, making broad assertions 
without supporting content, and telling each other that each other are idiots. 
Please respect the movement of the forum for productive discussion of something 
that isn't per-session-stateful.
