Where can we discuss new protocol extensions if neither in IPv6 wg, nor in DNSOP wg? This is a question for all DNSOP members except for you. > > 2.

If DHCPv6-lite is a subnet of DHCPv6, there may be no problem that RA-based DNS Discovery coexists with DHCPv6 like in ND spec. A significant number of people, including me, really want RA-based DNS Discovery. I think, they know the usefulness and operation of DHCPv6. At least my company has implemented DHCPv6 client/server fully. I think, I did my best to appeal the necessity of RA-based DNS Discovery, although I could not express my opinions well enough because of the limitation of Non-English speaker. If there is proper reason RA-based DNS Discovery SHOULD NOT coexist with DHCPv6, I will also rescind my concerns about RA-based DNS Discovery.
