everyone--
If I recall correctly, the chartered topic of this list is
discussion of the specific form of symmetric IPv6 NAT represented by
the NAT66 draft, and possibly continuing efforts to get another BOF
scheduled. In particular, I seem to recall that we decided
discussion of asymmetric address/port translation in IPv6 was
explicitly OFF TOPIC, and that such discussions are more appropriate
elsewhere, perhaps the main IETF Discussion list. Am I remembering
incorrectly?
I _wish_ this list was about the NAT66 draft and holding another BOF.
At this point, though, the ADs have indicated that the IETF will not
publish the NAT66 draft, and have indicated that Fred Baker and I
should try to publish it through the RFC editor independent stream.
They sent a complicated mixed message stating that both the IESG and
IAB feel that this draft is important and timely, but they won't host
discussion of it in Hiroshima, not as a BOF, not as an area meeting,
etc. They indicated that if Fred and I want to get it published, we
should go to the RFC Editor. I am disappointed about that, but that
is where things lie at this point.
Given that decision, I don't know that there is any particular topic
for this list. If folks want to hang out here, I will make sure that
any updates to the NAT66 draft get sent to this list while we're
trying to get it published by the RFC Editor. So folks who are
interested in actually publishing the NAT66 draft could stay here and
provide feedback on newer versions.
For folks who are hanging out here because you would rather spend your
time blocking my work than doing your own... You have won. You might
as well go somewhere else and do something productive now.
