I would like to see a "IPv6 router requirements" on the charts.

Other important stuff is to define a MIB for mobileIPv6.

> Description of Working Group:
> 
>     IP version 6 or IPv6 (also formerly known as IP Next 
> Generation or IPng)
>     is intended to support the continued growth of the 
> Internet, both in
>     size and capabilities, by offering a greatly increased IP 
> address space
>     and other enhancements over IPv4.  The working group was 
> originally
>     chartered to implement the recommendations of the IPng 
> Area Directors
>     as outlined at the July 1994 IETF meeting and in "The 
> Recommendation
>     for the IP Next Generation Protocol," RFC1752, January 
> 1995.  Most of
>     the tasks in that original charter have been completed, 
> and the core
>     IPv6 protocol specifications are now on the IETF standards track.
>     The working group's ongoing responsibilities are as follows:
> 
>      - Complete work from the original charter and follow-on work, as
>        outlined below.
> 
>      - Keep all IPv6 working group documents moving along 
> publication /
>        standardization track.
> 
>      - Serve as a review board and body of competence and 
> coordination for
>        IPv6 architectural issues that span multiple IETF 
> working groups.
> 
>      - Provide a home for IPv6-related work that doesn't fit 
> in an existing
>        IETF working group and doesn't merit a working group 
> of its own.
> 
>      - Provide technical input to ICANN, Internet Address 
> Registries, and
>        IANA with regard to IPv6 address allocation policies 
> and procedures.
> 
>      - Provide technical input and review to IANA with regard to IPv6
>        protocol and parameter assignments.
> 
>     The list of the working group's current work items is as follows:
> 
>      - Revise ICMPv6 spec (scope-exceeded err, no error to redirect,
>        editorial)
>      - Revise Generic Tunneling spec (add bidirectional tunnels)
>      - Update Basic and Advanced API specs
>      - Complete Scoped Address Architecture spec and any 
> necessary revisions
>        to other working group drafts required to properly 
> implement support
>        for IPv6 address scoping
>      - Complete work on recommended address-selection algorithms
>      - Work on new solutions to site-multihoming problems, 
> possibly including
>        both host-based and router-based solutions.
>      - Complete work on local IPv6 networking as part of IPv6 
> plug-and-play
>      - Complete work on privacy extensions to stateless 
> address configuration
>      - Document IPv6 renumbering model
>      - Complete the GSE Analysis document
>      - Complete the Inverse Neighbor Discovery spec
>      - Complete the IPv6 Node Information Queries spec
>      - Complete MIB specs as required by any working group 
> protocol specs
> 
>     New work items not listed above require the approval of 
> the working
>     group and Internet Area directors before they will be 
> taken on by the
>     working group.
> 
>     The working group would welcome contributions on the 
> following topics
>     (this is not an exhaustive list):
> 
>      - Flow label standardization
>      - Solutions to other multihoming issues, beyond those specific to
>        site-multihoming
>      - Integration of autoconfiguration, mobility, DNS, 
> service discovery
>        and other technologies to enhance IPv6 plug-and-play
>      - IPv6 dial-up issues relating to address assignment, 
> use of Neighbor
>        Discovery, etc. (not including AAA work)
>      - Specifications for IPv6 over additional media
>      - Extending MLD to include functionality of IGMPv3
>      - Host use of anycast; TCP use of anycast
>      - Support for multi-link subnets (single subnet spans 
> multiple links)
>      - Scope-name discovery
>      - IPv6 protocol extensions to accommodate mobile 
> wireless networks.
> 
> Goals and Milestones:
> 
>   Aug 2000    Complete MLD MIB and submit for Proposed Standard
> 
>   Sep 2000    Complete privacy extensions specification and submit for
>               Proposed Standard
