Hello,
I'll disclose that there is a potential conflict of interest and I am
involved in a RIR [1].

The IESG has received a request from the Sunsetting IPv4 WG (sunset4) to
consider the following document: - 'IETF: End Work on IPv4'
<draft-ietf-sunset4-ipv6-ietf-01.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-10-12. Exceptionally, comments may be
I read this short draft and the document shepherd write-up. The
explanation about why the document should be published as a "Proposed
Standard" is that "it creates key implications on all future
standards track documents". Is that what the "Proposed Standard"
label is about?
There is the following in Section 1: "Until the time when IPv4 is no
longer inwide use and/or declared historic ..." It is unrealistic to
envision a near future where the IETF would "declare" IPv4 as "Historic".
I'll commend the author for not overloading the "must" in this
draft. Is this document about the IETF not doing any more work on
IPv4-related technologies unless there is a security issue to fix and
there is consensus [2] to do that?
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
1. Please do not read the disclosure as a statement from the RIR. My
interest predates the RIR involvement.
2. Please see Section 2 of the draft.
