This is a IPv6 working group last call for comments on advancing the following document as a Proposed Standard:

        Title           : IPv6 Node Information Queries
        Author(s)       : M. Crawford
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookups-10.txt
        Pages           : 12
        Date            : 2003-6-27

This document was previously sent to the IESG for Proposed Standard. The IESG responded with a number of comments. The IESG discussion can be found at:

https://www.ietf.org/IESG/EVALUATIONS/draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookups.bal

The chairs believe that this draft resolves the issues raised by the IESG. Given the time that has elapsed, we thought it was important to have another working group last call. Changes in this draft include:

 - Move applicability statement to start of document and update
   introduction.
 - Removed Qtypes query capabilities
 - Limit returned TTL in node name to zero and removed text describing
   non-zero TTLs.
 - Remove text about A6 records
 - Change to have all new Qtypes require IETF approval
 - Updated security considerations

The reasoning behind this set of changes was to resolve the issues raised by the IESG and to maintain comparability with current shipping code. Node Information Queries is shipping in the KAME and USAGI distributions and has been found to be very useful for deploying IPv6 service and debugging operational problems.

Please send substantive comments to the ipng mailing list, and minor editorial comments to the authors. This last call period will end on 16 July 2003.
