Margaret,

You had the below proposal:

I would very much like to have e.g. the general
node requirements document, and your approach
of splitting into two documents looks very clean. I have
already in the past announced my interest on working on
the general host document, so I would like to see it
happen, as soon as possible.

However, I do have a concern. Or at least
some issues, but perhaps you can suggest
how to deal with them. I think most of
us agree that a host requirements document is
something that we should have and is a necessary
one. If we had a general document I'm pretty sure
there'd be no need for any specific XXX host
requirements documents. Now, my concern is this:
how long do you think producing the general document
to an RFC will take? What should we say in the
meantime to folks who want to deploy IPv6 now?
If there are decisions as to what to do with ND/DAD/whatever,
should those be made by (a) IPv6 WG, (b) 3GPP, or (c)
vendors?

Jari
